Black British History Books - The Black Presence in Britain Black History Books - A collection of books that will be useful to any scholar of the African and Caribbean lived experience in Britain.

Well for me I tend to save this for October as BHM is in October in the UK. So nothing new particularly yet. However, there are lots of Old books that I love to recommend.
