<p><strong>'A wonderful showcase of the most exciting work happening in Black British History and a rousing call to action. Essential reading!' </strong>Christienna Fryar, historian of Britain and the Caribbean</p><p><strong>'A forceful revolt against Eurocentric history and imperialist </strong><strong>nostalgia, this illuminates the everyday lives and interconnected </strong><strong>freedom struggles of generations of Black people in Britain, </strong><strong>particularly Black women. An indispensable resource' </strong>W. Chris Johnson, University of Toronto</p><p><strong>'They can destroy our landing cards, but they'll never erase our </strong><strong>history! Packed with lucid, rigorous and groundbreaking new </strong><strong>research, this is essential reading' </strong>Kevin Searle, editorial board, <em>History Matters</em></p><p>The history of African and Caribbean people in Britain is centuries long. Although integral to, and indivisible from 'British history', it is usually treated as a footnote - or forgotten altogether. But with the flourishing of the Black Lives Matter uprisings, and fierce debates around the legacies of colonialism, has come a renewed hunger for the recovery of this history.</p><p>Edited by leading historian Hakim Adi, <em>Many Struggles</em> includes contributions from an array of emerging historians and scholar-activists. Covering the sixteenth to the late twentieth centuries, the book reveals the long history of African and Caribbean people in Britain. Drawing on new archival research, <em>Many Struggles</em> emphasises often-neglected themes such as local histories, women, gender and political activism.</p><p><strong>Hakim Adi</strong> was the first person of African heritage to be appointed a professor of history in Britain, and currently teaches at the University of Chichester. He is the author of numerous books including <em>African and Caribbean People in Britain: A History</em>, <em>West Africans in Britain 1900-1960</em> and
