Staying Power

"Staying Power" is an extensive history of Black Britons, tracing their presence in Britain over two thousand years, from Roman times to the modern era. The book highlights the often-overlooked influence of Africans, Asians, and their descendants on British history, politics, and culture, serving as a powerful counter to racist narratives. Featuring a new foreword by Gary Younge and a classic introduction by Paul Gilroy, this edition underscores the enduring relevance of Fryer’s work in contemporary discussions on race, identity, and nationalism.
