This bibliography is very partial (in both senses of the word), and some of the entries are themselves incomplete or inaccurate. Just the same, I hope it gives you a sense of the breadth and depth of writing from and about "Black Britain." I add entries from time to time; suggested inclusions and/or revisions are always welcome. In those cases where a book is owned by HSU Library, I've appended its call number.
