{"product_id":"9781447299769","title":"Black and British: A Forgotten History","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new genetic and genealogical research, original records, expert testimony and contemporary interviews, \u003ci\u003eBlack and British\u003c\/i\u003e reaches back to Roman Britain, the medieval imagination and Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e. It reveals that behind the South Sea Bubble was Britain's global slave-trading empire and that much of the great industrial boom of the 19th century was built on American slavery. It shows that Black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the trenches of World War I. Black British history can be read in stately homes, street names, statues and memorials across Britain and is woven into the cultural and economic histories of the nation. Unflinching, confronting taboos and revealing hitherto unknown scandals, this book describes how black and white Britons have been intimately entwined for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060776157424,"sku":"9781447299769","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781447299769_p0.jpg?v=1763828088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781447299769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
