This year, we celebrate Black History Month by highlighting some works from Black Caribbean writers and intellectuals as well as Black diaspora art practices from the 1980s to present.

Update 11 October: Check out the novels below by this year's winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Abdulrazak Gurnah.

A Very British History: The First Black Brummies (2020)

Poet Sue Brown looks at what life was like in the post-war years for Birmingham's Caribbean community.

Staff Pick!

Not strictly British or European. But this incredible story about African-American female mathematicians working in NASA in the 1960s is a staff favourite.
