Windrush: 75 Years of Modern Britain

by Mike Phillips and Trevor Phillips - £12.99  HarperCollins Publishers (2023)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780008609702 | ISBN 10: 0008609705

The oral history of Britain’s first West Indian immigrants and their descendants.
 
In 1948 the former troop ship Windrush made the 30-day journey across the Atlantic from Jamaica. The arrival of its 500 passengers, the first generation of Caribbean migrants in the UK, was the initial step in the formation of a new identity: the black Briton.
 
Fifty years later, Mike and Trevor Phillips spoke to those on the Windrush itself, as well as those who followed, to tell the story of Britain in the second half of the twentieth century through the eyes of the outsiders who became insiders.
 
Now updated to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the ship’s voyage and including reflections on its political and cultural legacy in 2023, Windrush is an essential record of this transformative era in British social history.
