FREE BOOK! Local Black History: A Beginning in DevonLucy MacKeithArchives and Museum of Black Heritage, Brixton, 2003 READ ONLINE more FREE BOOKS from lascasbookshelf.tumblr.com ||| Publisher’s Blurb |||This booklet about black history in Devonshire is short because the work is only just beginning, not because there is no evidence to uncover… To move towards a more accurate, inclusive view of history, we need to separate out the different elements, which have been ignored previously. The evidence is available. The history waits to be written. Black history is not only for black people. It is not only to be found in the history of big cities and ports. Looking at black history in Devon, and similar parts of Britain, helps us to understand the links between local, national and world history. There are stories about black people to be discovered in all walks of life and in all areas. I hope to show that there is more to discover and that we need this information to get a balanced view of our country, and our country’s past. This is the ‘missing part of our history’. ||| Contents ||| Foreword by Sam Walker, Director, AMBH 1. Why black history in Devon 2. Black Romans in Devon?3. Saint Maurice4.
