Review:
For this retrieval of the lost histories of black Britain Mr Fryer has my deep gratitude. An invaluable book, which manages the rare feat of combining scholarship with readability (Salman Rushdie)
A fascinating account of the growth of the black community in Britain over the past centuries. (Guardian)
'This book is rare in its mastery of the constant historical contradiction: range and at the same time event. Two thousand years is a long time; Fryer never loses his grip in time or place' (CLR James)
