‘Kieran Connell’s vividly compelling book makes an epic subject feel immediate and intimate. Written with verve and passion, it yet casts a cold eye on the large historical forces that are in play. Multicultural Britain: A People’s History honours the lives it restores to their proper place in the making of contemporary Britain.’
