Book cover for Shades of Black –  The Origins of Colour Consciousness in the Caribbean

This fascinating book highlights an area in the history of colonialism that other studies have rarely explored. It reveals the origins of colour consciousness in a compelling read that all who are interested in community relationships will find enlightening. The personal experience of each of the three co-authors highlight different aspects which still have relevance in the 1st century  

Background History 

The discovery of notes made on an official visit to the West Indies prior to their gaining their independence in 1961 at a time when the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement was at a height some 60 years later, stimulated the Authors, who had all helped form the ‘Movement for Justice and Reconciliation’ in Britain, to put further thoughts on paper opening up a wider discussion.
