Mother Country: Real Stories of the Windrush Children by Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff

5.0

These stories are a must read, not just for anyone interested in the Windrush generation, but for anyone interested in British history. Windrush immigrants, their children and grandchildren provide illuminating accounts of what it meant to come to Britain, experience the harsh life and everyday racisms and grow up in a country that has managed to make them feel unwelcome, whilst also being their home, where they have lived, loved, worked (extremely hard) and built communities, buildings, festivals, arts, families and more. Our country would be unrecognisable (and far poorer) without them.
