Staying Power: The History of Black People in Britain by Peter Fryer
informative
slow-paced
3.5
This was a comprehensive history of black people in Britain and their struggles.
My only issue with this book is that at times I felt that the book focused too much on real-life accounts of black people who lived in Britain rather than the wider picture of black people's struggle as a collective. I feel that the accounts given are incredibly important and should be talked about but I think it should have been balanced out with the wider picture.
