Historian and broadcaster David Olusoga has already delivered two critically important books on Black British history. Books that should be on the bookshelf of every school and library across the world. And now alongside his talented siblings Yinka and Kemi who are also incredibly successful historians, they deliver 366 stories of Black history and part of global history in this Star of a book.
Critically important, the Olusogas shine a light on stories of hope and connection, ingenuity and creativity, alongside tales of racism and oppression. Some you might know, others you might not. But page by page, day by day you are reminded, educated, informed and inspired by these stories.
Accompanied by twelve timelines to help you explore particular themes like Black resistance to slavery, the Victorian Anti-Slavery Movement, the Campaign Against Apartheid and Black Creatives, you will be taken on a journey. A journey of people and places, and of key events. With illustrations, quotes and photographs throughout this is a critical must read for us all. A glossary and a thorough index also feature aiding you in using this book to its best effect. Dip in, dip out, read it from the beginning to the end in consecutive order. But read it. Learn about it. Share it. Talk about it. This is a rich history relevant to us all.
