This is the first comprehensive historical perspective on the
relationship between Black workers and the changing patterns of
Britain’s labour needs. It places in an historical context the
development of a small black presence in sixteenth-century Britain
into the disadvantaged black working class of the 1980s.

The book deals with the colonial labour institutions (slavery,
indentureship and trade unionism) and the ideology underlying them
and also considers the previously neglected role of the
nineteenth-century Black radicals in British working-class
struggles.

ideology that has underpinned the twentieth-century struggles
against unemployment, racial attacks and workplace grievances,
among them employer and trade union racism.
