Longlisted for the UKLA Book Awards 2022 Information Books 3-14 | Winner of Book of the Year, Children's: Illustrated and Non-Fiction at The British Book Awards | Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2020 History like this must be made more accessible and not hidden. So much has been achieved that has not been discussed so is lost which is wrong. I often struggle with non fiction books but since this is aimed at young adults / children(?) this is written so clearly and well and does not require prior knowledge from you. There are a few bits that could have been expanded but that’s inevitable with a summarised view of history.

When I was 16, I bought a copy of Peter Fryer’s Book Staying Power. It was an incredibly empowering experience to read that book. I wish I’d been able to read it at 11 not 16. I like using historical sources and that language is quite difficult. So I had to use sources in very different ways and that was quite a challenge. If possible I would like David Olusoga to receive this. In his article the Times Weekend yesterday David skips from the Romans to the Tudors writing that very few people came from Africa after the Romans left.

I believe that our country is one of the most diverse in the world. We have been through a lot of pain to achieve this and understanding all the pain is a great way to move forward to a more peaceful future.

There is a lot to take in with this and would be a good place to start for young readers, and also for older readers too. This is done in a way that can be read by all and is done in a way that is honest and factual. It also provides the reader with a good starting point to look further and wider into the topics and events discussed in this book.

Winner of the Book of the Year, Children's Illustrated and Non-Fiction at The British Book Awards, 2021. Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2020 Much of what was in here I’d vaguely heard of (especially the areas Professor Olusoga highlights in the 1700s and beyond), but much of the information about things before then was brand new to me. And I learned some new things about topics I had a baseline knowledge of, like the Windrush generation, and the British profit from slave trade and slavery.
