People of African descent in the British Isles have been widely overlooked in both British social history and the history of Black people. Located in country towns as well as large cities, their contributions spanned diverse roles and professions. Some people of African descent became doctors and medal-winning soldiers, while others were trapped in slavery or sex work. Black individuals participated in political and imperial reform as well as in groups that supported fellow Black communities. Many migrated to Africa, Australia, Jamaica, or New Zealand.
Drawing from contemporary newspapers, historical archives, the writings of descendants and veterans, school and government files, and memoirs, this book offers an in-depth study of the role of Black people in British history. It examines how people of African descent were affected by cultural snobbery, racism, and imperialism, and sheds light on the many other aspects of the varied lives of Black people in Britain from 1830 to 1940. Despite rarely being contextualized in their age, people of color did not solely exist as stigmatized outsiders; they participated in English society as teachers, government officials, tradespeople, and in many other roles.
