"A haunting and evocative history of British empire, told through one woman's family story 'Where are you from?' Hazel Carby was continually asked as a girl, at a time when being Black and being British was understood to be an impossibility. To answer that question properly, eminent scholar Hazel Carby finds she needs to trace not justthe family history of her Jamaican father and her Welsh mother, but to untangle knots the British Empire created across the Atlantic.
