Recs if you like Black Poppies: Britain's Black Community and the Great War...

Books to fill the gaping voids made by our school systems.

Examining concepts of race, class, culture, ethnicity, colourism, separatism, belonging, supremacy, identity, & the effects of British colonialism.

Some books have these themes incidentally, but in most they are the core focus.

Suggestions welcome!

A collection of histories, memoirs, and historical fiction in anticipation of Black History Month here in the UK. Credit to blackhistorymonth.org.uk for some of these suggestions. If you have any recommendations, leave a comment.

Genealogical resources for those interested in discovery their place in the African diaspora.

WWI as represented by historians looking back on events.

A mix of both introductory and more academic texts.

Please feel free to recommend any good histories you know - whether the focus is a particular topic (eg. medicine), person, front, or battle. I have not read all of these books - if any are particularly poor or unsuitable, please let me know so I may remove them.
