Broadcaster Trevor Phillips and his novelist brother Mike retell the very human story of Britain's first West Indian immigrants and their descendants from 1948 to the present day.

In 1948, the troop ship Windrush brought the first West Indian immigrants to Great Britain. Originally published 50 years later, Trevor and Mike Phillips' seminal book uses the first-person accounts of those on the boat - as well as those of their descendants, friends, neighbours and politicians - to tell the story of Black British life in the twentieth century.

Moving through crucial events in British social history and tracing the impact of immigration through the decades, Windrush covers topics across politics, culture and society, from race riots and Powellism to Carnival and cricket.

Updated to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the ship's voyage, including reflections on the legacy of Windrush in 2022, this compelling book is a true celebration of Black British history and heritage.
