They were invited to rebuild a broken empire. They stayed to face a second war.
In the 1950s, thousands of Caribbean men and women boarded ships like the Empire Windrush, answering the call of "the mother country." They expected a home; they found a cold, gray reality defined by "No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs" signs. This episode of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN explores the harrowing journey of the diaspora across Europe and North America—a journey marked by institutional betrayal and the fire of resistance.
From the street-level battles of the 1981 Brixton Uprisings and the tragedy of the New Cross Fire to the modern-day betrayal of the Windrush Scandal, we deconstruct the "Double Exclusion." This is the story of a people caught between two worlds: viewed as "foreigners" in the lands they built, and "strangers" in the islands they left behind.
