Fatima Manji is an award-winning English television broadcaster and journalist as well as Britain's first hijab-wearing newsreader. Born in Peterborough and a student of History and Politics at the London School of Economics, her book shares a fresh perspective on British history and explores relics that reveal the diversity of Britain before the twentieth century.

In this brilliant, captivating and brave book, she journeys Britain's cultural landmarks and navigates the misconceptions around modern immigration narratives, retelling the story of Britain as a nation struggling with identity and the legacy of empire.

In a time when simplistic assumptions have become the norm, this publication is vital for shedding a calm, bright light on the complexity of British history.
