It is not only a story of successful integration, sport and cultural icons, or even everyday heroes like my mother, any more than it is only a story of Home Office failure, of systemic racism, or the consequences of slavery. The story of Windrush, is, like any other, a story of humanity. Of life, love, struggle, hope, misery, success and failure. It's one that is too often neglected in our media, but this volume acts as a remedy to that failure of story-telling, which I ask you to both savour and share.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eamp;ndash; David Lammy MP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMOTHER COUNTRY is an honest, eye-opening, funny, moving and ultimately inspiring celebration of the lives of both ordinary and extraordinary people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(P)2018 Headline Publishing Group Ltd\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098420101360,"sku":"2940170410569","price":29.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170410569_p0.jpg?v=1763709251","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170410569","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
