Description
Under the guest editorship of Gail Lewis and Lola Young, Windrush Echoes examines the legacy of the arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury Dock in 1948. Where recent commemorations have looked back with misty-eyed nostalgia, Windrush Echoes looks beyond the poignant images of nervous, travellers stepping ashore to analyze the effects of their arrival on contemporary British life fifty years on.
