Home is not a place book

What is Black Britain? In 2021, award-winning poet Roger Robinson and acclaimed photographer Johny Pitts decided to follow the coast clockwise in search of an answer to this question. Travelling from Tilbury, where the Empire Windrush docked in 1948, to Land’s End, Bristol to Blackpool, Glasgow to John O’Groats and Scarborough to Southend on Sea, the authors found not only Black British culture long overlooked in official narratives, but also the history of Empire and transatlantic slavery to which every Briton is tethered. A brilliant reflection of Black Britishness in photography, poetry and essays.
