Selected by Booker Prize-winning author Bernardine Evaristo, this series rediscovers and celebrates pioneering books depicting black Britain that remap the nation.
Evaristo has also written the introductions for the books in the series. Featuring rediscovered works about Black Britain and the diaspora that were written over the past 100 years, the intention is to present a “body of work that illustrates a variety of preoccupations and genres that offer important and diverse Black British perspectives."
The Booker Prize-winner says, "Our ambition is to correct historic bias in British publishing and bring a wealth of lost writing back into circulation. While many of us continue to lobby for the publishing industry to become more inclusive and representative of our society, this project looks back to the past in order to resurrect texts that will help reconfigure black British literary history."
