Written in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter and Rhodes Must Fall demonstrations, The History of Britain and Ireland examines the history of Britain and Ireland at a time when it asks difficult questions of its past and looks to the future. Campbell places Black history at the forefront of his analysis and offers a voice to marginalised communities, to craft a complete and comprehensive history of Britain and Ireland from Prehistory to Today. This book is unique in that it integrates the histories of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, to provide a balanced view of British history.
Building on the successful foundations laid by the first edition, the book has been updated to include:
* COVID-19 and earlier diseases in history
* LGBT History
* A fresh appraisal of Winston Churchill
* Brexit and the subsequent negotiations
* 45 illustrations
Richly illustrated and focusing on the major turning points in British history, this book helps students engage with British history and think critically about the topic.
