dozen of black people born, resident or visiting Britain in the
years between 1901-1914.
- Immigrants and Minorities
Black and Asian Studies Association - "Jeffrey Green"s long awaited
study of black people in Edwardian Britain is a most welcome
publication....Certainly an essential purchase and hopefully the
basis for much future research."
Choice -"In this carefully researched monograph, Green rescues from
obscurity the lives of a tiny but vibrant minority."
Twentieth century British History- "This delightful and fascinating
book makes an important historiographical point whilst establishing
multiple agendas for further research...Black Edwardians begins
decisively to fill in a large gap in our knowledge of Black
Briton"s history- that of the period before the First World War. It
joins a limited but growing number of book-length works presenting
substantial amounts of evidence in the field...its methodological
innovations point the way forward for other scholars"
International Journal of African Historical Studies -" The history
of the African diaspora in Britain has long been a neglected area
of research, although there has been some important scholarly work
in recent years. Jeffrey Green"s long-awaited study of black people
in Edwardian Britain is a most welcome publication and an important
contribution to this growing body of work...Green"s study is based
on a rich variety of sources and contains almost fifty photographs,
many of them published for the first time. Black Edwardians is a
fascinating book and will hopefully provide the basis for further
research on this important but often neglected aspect of the
history of the African diaspora."
"a major contribution not only to black British history but also
British history"
