Migrants - The Story of Us All

'Tremendous: blends the personal and the panoramic to great effect, reminding us - in narrating epic migration stories from Aeneas to the Windrush - that the human urge to move about in search a better life is as old and natural as time itself.'

Robert Winder, author of Bloody Foreigners: the story of immigration to Britain

'Timely and empathetic : a rare combination on this most controversial issue.'

Remi Adekoya, author of Biracial Britain: what it means to be mixed race
