- This book examines African Caribbean migration to Britain and the politics of race and citizenship following WWII. It relies on a transnational archive of sources derived from archives in the UK, the US and the Caribbean as well as private unarchived documents shared from participants who were involved in Black political movements in London during this period. The work was supported by a major grant from the American Council of Learned Societies in the US and represents the first historical study exploring how Black communities in Britain informed transnational anti-racist struggles during the 1950s and 1960s.
