Description

The story of mixed-race Britain, told through entertaining interviews and archival research

In 2011, a story broke: over the past ten years, the number of mixed-race people in Britain had doubled into the seven-figures.

The ever-forgetful media squawked as if mixed-race Brits were a new phenomenon. But mixed-race people have lived in Britain for hundreds of years. This fascinating history matters, yet is rarely told. It’s about one of the fastest-growing groups of people in the UK, yet we rarely hear from them as a group. It's time to change that.

With the latest census data about to be published, there couldn't be a better time to share this collection of voices, stories and memories from mixed-race people of different ages and backgrounds. Some of the their stories are challenging to read and others are tinged with sadness, but collectively, this collection is celebration of diversity, mixed heritage and everyday family life.
