My American Odyssey - From Windrush to the Whitehouse' charts the life of a Black British boy, growing up in 1980s England, and travelling around America, sharing the cultural, historical and, at times emotional, links and contrasts between the two countries. This is an impressive piece of writing; part-memoir, part-cultural history and part-political essay. It is an important story told from a personal perspective depicting the achievements and struggles of Black communities uprooted from their African roots and charting their new lives in America, the Caribbean and the UK. It's a fascinating read that will appeal to a wide audience across Britain and around the globe." - Dr Paul Stephenson OBE, Civil Rights Campaigner and Author of 'Memoirs of a Black Englishman.
