Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the long and fascinating [[history]] of black people in the[[ British Isles]], ''The Oxford Companion to Black British History'' explores the subject from its beginnings in Roman times to the present day. From African auxiliaries stationed on [[Hadrian's Wall]] in the 2nd century AD, through [[John Edmonstone]], who taught taxidermy to [[Charles Darwin]],[[ Mary Seacole]], the 'Black Florence Nightingale', and Walter Tull, footballer and First World War officer, to our own day, the OCBBH provides detailed timeline charts and key dates for people and events. Key concepts such as Emancipation and Reparations are examined, while a unique collection of articles are brought together to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the black presence in Britain, and the rich and diverse contribution it has made to British society.
Edited by the prize-winning novelist and noted academic David Dabydeen, together with respected scholars John Gilmore and Cecily Jones, and written by more than 100 specialists, the book will appeal to a wide readership including university academics, A-level and undergraduate students, and [[teachers]], as well as to general [[readers]] with an interest in Black British history.
