Second Book…..
“Windrush Women of Courage”
This book focuses on the experiences of the recently labelled ‘Windrush’ peoples. It tells the stories of four octogenarian and nonagenarian women whose amazing life journeys reflect the lives of hundreds and thousands of other migrants who left the islands of the Caribbeans to support the UK’s recovery after WW2.
We hear about their travel, work, family and ambitions, as well as the challenges they faced in trying to settle in their new country. We are given a window into their everyday decisions enabling them to build family foundations and embrace their new homeland as Black British, whilst still proudly Caribbean.
Breaking Through Racist Clouds is an anthology of 37 Stories compiled in response to black people's continual struggle for equality, acknowledgement and recognition of their humanity. It focuses on the stories of a small group of people of Caribbean heritage.
