A new focus on...Black Lives in Britain, c.1500–present for KS3 History

About this book

This is the first school textbook of this century that focuses solely on the history of Black people in Britain – and approaches that history with the rigour, relevance and extensive research that it deserves. Diversify your KS3 curriculum. Designed to be used flexibly, the book contains enquiries that can be slotted easily into your schemes of work. Structured into three key periods, with a mix of depth, site and thematic enquiries, it provides numerous opportunities for you to incorporate Black British history at KS3. Focus on real people. Depth enquiries examine individual Black lives within different periods from 1500 to present, using historical concepts such as causation and significance to explore their stories. Unique sources bring the individuals to life and also highlight the complexity of relations between Black and White people in British society. Understand the importance of place. Site enquiries on London, Liverpool, Cardiff and Bristol illustrate how crucial Black communities were – and are – for the flourishing of Black identity.
