staying power, a right direction
i have read this book 3 times and am now on my 4th outing with it. it holds a wealth of information for those wanting an insight into this definitive part of history, without some of the more polarised views that particular literature on the subject of slavery possess. it's good. peter fryer names his sources and all of these are easily checked and cross checked. i recommend this book to black and white, asian and indian alike, who may want an objective tool in summarising over 400 years of 'justified' murder, rape, theft and genocidal madness against a great people in their own right. well worth the money.

Excellent and readable
This book is fascinating and well written. It traces the history of Black people in Britain, who have made significant contributions to culture and history for several centuries. It also recounts movements against slavery and later against racism. Many things which are left out of the history books are here in this very serious and readable work.
