First published in the '80s, amidst race riots and police brutality, Fryer's history performed a deeply political act; revealing how Africans, Asians and their descendants had long been erased from British history. By rewriting black Britons into the British story, showing where they influenced political traditions, social institutions and cultural life, was - and is - a deeply effective counter to a racist and nationalist agenda.
This new edition includes the classic introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack, in addition to a brand-new foreword by Guardian journalist Gary Younge, which examines the book's continued significance today as we face Brexit and a revival of right wing nationalism.
Reviews / Votes
'Encyclopedic, courageous and passionately written there is no more important and no more ground breaking a book on Black British history than Staying Power. Everyone who has researched or written on the subject since its publication in 1984 owes something to Fryer' -- David Olusoga, author of 'Black and British: A Forgotten History' 'Wonderful' -- Lenny Henry 'Rare in its mastery' -- CLR James 'A fascinating account of the growth of the black community in Britain over the past centuries' -- Guardian 'For this retrieval of the lost histories of black Britain Mr Fryer has my deep gratitude. An invaluable book, which manages the rare feat of combining scholarship with readability' -- Salman RushdieMore details
