* THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS: CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR WINNER * ENGLISH 4-11 PICTURE BOOK AWARDS: 7-11 NON-FICTION WINNER *
An eye-opening story of Britain, focusing on a part of our past that has mostly been left out of the history books: the brilliant Black history of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
Did you know that the first Britons were Black? Or that some of the Roman soldiers who invaded and ruled Britain were Black, too? Join this fascinating journey through the ages to meet those first Britons, as well as the Black Tudors, Georgians and Victorians who existed in every walk of life here. The incredible journey through time is brought to life through Atinuke's fascinating storytelling and illustrated scenes, detailed maps, and timelines created by illustrator Kingsley Nebechi.
From science and sport to literature and law, celebrate the brilliant Black people who have helped build Britain. Learn about key and complex historical topics such as the world wars, slavery, the industrial revolution, Windrush and the Black Lives Matter movement. This fascinating book will change everything you thought you knew about our green-grey British isles.

Horrível. O livro é tendencioso, nocivo e extremamente ideológico (algo que não seria ruim se fosse um ideal certo). Curiosamente, o livro afirma que os negros viviam nas Ilhas Britânicas 7.000 anos antes de as pessoas chegarem lá, e o monumento pagão "Stonehenge" também foi construído por negros, o que é algo totalmente errado e sem prova alguma. Disseram que no século V no recuo dos Romanos com as imigrações os britânicos se tornariam uma mistura de imigrantes bretões romanos, britânicos nativos, Anglo-Saxões, Vikings(que nem é gentílico ou título de uma etno-cultura), normandos e africanos(?)! Futuramente não dúvido que irão escrever um livro falando que a Europa foi fundada por negros, que Rurik era negro, O Rei Barbarrosa seria negro, sinceramente desprezível e como eu disse, nocivo. Conheça sua história e rejeite essa desinformação.
