"This is the first comprehensive history of Black and Asian writers in Britain since the eighteenth century. Utilizing a wealth of new archival material, Lynn Innes examines writers who arrived in England as slaves and whose work later became extremely popular. Innes examines their work as part of an acceptance of and challenge to British cultural and ideological discourses. She reveals a history of vigorous and fertile interaction between Black, Asian and white intellectuals and communities, and offers a rich historical context for understanding contemporary British multicultural society and culture."

by C. L. Innes
First line
Although there is evidence that African soldiers came to Britain with the Roman armies in order to keep the restless natives under control, it is not until the beginnings of European imperial expansion and slave trading that they begin to make a significant appearance in literature by and about them.
