This engaging book presents an original collection of chapters authored by leading Black voices across the academy, foregrounding the Black British perspective in historical discourse for the first time. This fresh take on Mandela the Man, rather than the enduring myth around his branding, explores the life of Nelson Mandela; his contribution to the peace in South Africa and the impact of British law on Mandela and his legal jurisprudence. Not only does this innovative collection highlight the lessons which can be learned from Mandela's life, it also connects with contemporary issues of race in Britain today, taking in the Rhodes Must Fall movement and Black Lives Matter movement. The result is a much-needed revival of existing literature, and a collection which will be of interest to students and scholars of Black British History. 606 $aBlack people$xGreat Britain 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aAfrican history$2bicssc 606 $aBritish & Irish history$2bicssc 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 615 0$aBlack people$xGreat Britain 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 7$aAfrican history 615 7$aBritish & Irish history 615 7$aHistory 702 $aWilliams$b Elizabeth 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910949137103321 996 $aBlack Britain and Nelson Mandela$94533906 997 $aUNINA
