The oral history of Britain’s first West Indian immigrants and their descendants In 1948 the former troop ship Windrush made the 30-day journey across the Atlantic from Jamaica. The arrival of its 500 passengers, the first generation of Caribbean migrants in the UK, was the initial step in the formation of a new identity: the black Briton. Fifty years later, Mike and Trevor Phillips spoke to those on the Windrush itself, as well as those who followed, to tell the story of Britain in the second half of the twentieth century through the eyes of the outsiders who became insiders. Now updated to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the ship’s voyage and including reflections on its political and cultural legacy in 2023, Windrush is an essential record of this transformative era in British social history. The book Windrush by Trevor Phillips, is a profound exploration of ethnic relations and immigration, shedding light on the emigration journey from the Indies to Europe in the 20th century. It's a top pick for those interested in understanding the racial dynamics that shaped the last century. For fans of Colin Grant (Homecoming), Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff (Mother Country), Amelia Gentleman (The Windrush Betrayal), Dawn Butler (A Purposeful Life), and Polly Toynbee (An Uneasy Inheritance).
