A Passage to England: Barbadian Londoners Speak of Home cover

In the 1950s young Barbadians were recruited to work on London's public transport and in its hospitals. They married and settled in London and raised children. In 1988 Western interviewed 12 such families, offering a perspective on 30 years of London's social history.
