A 500+ year history of the engagement of racism in Britain with black music, Africans, and African musicians. Based mainly on documented fact with anecdotal and assumptive asides, it covers from the wicked consequences, the fortitude, the resilience, the conquering, the I-didn't-know-that to the fancy-that, and lots more details in between! An unmissable learning forum with space for you to have your say.
