Roots & Culture: Cultural Politics in the Making of Black Britain
ISBN: 9781350148451 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How did a distinct and powerful Black British identity emerge? In the 1950s, when many Caribbean migrants came to Britain, there was no such recognised entity as "Black Britain."
