This is a unique account of a hidden history. Since at least the 16th
century, there has been a black presence in Wales, but much of that
history has remained untold – until now.

Wales is a small country with a small population, whose native people
are often considered to be an ethnic minority. So what have been the relationships between the white Welsh and the black people who have lived in Wales as a result of immigration and birth? How tolerant has Wales been of its newcomers and brown-skinned citizens? Why were there race riots in 1919?

From the houseboys and girls of the 17th century to the sporting and literacy heroes of today, this book examines the gradual weaving
together of the black and white strand of Welsh society. It is a
history told, in a bilingual form, for the first time.
