Homecoming - Voice of the Windrush Generation
Homecoming draws from a hundred interviews, archival records, and memoirs of West Indian immigrants in post-war Britain. Covering the late 1940s to the early 1960s, the book traces their journey from optimism to the late 1950s race riots. Narratives include nurses in Manchester, dockers in Cardiff, and more, revealing a tapestry of Caribbean British lives with hope, regret, triumphs, challenges, humor, anger, and wisdom.
