In the aftermath of the 2018 Windrush Scandal, the story of the Windrush Generation is more widely known than ever. But is it the whole story?\u003cbr /\u003e \u003cbr /\u003e Through a series of biographical essays, poems and articles, \u003cem\u003eThe Other Windrush\u003c/em\u003e shines a light on the hidden history of a 'minority within a minority': Caribbean migrants of Indian and Chinese descent - often the descendants of indentured labourers - who were the 'invisible passengers' of the Windrush generation.\u003cbr /\u003e \u003cbr /\u003e Both highlighting the diversity of their lives and cultural backgrounds, and delving into the largely forgotten history of the system of indenture in the British Caribbean, \u003cem\u003eThe Other Windrush\u003c/em\u003e makes a unique addition to the literature on migration and the British Empire.\u003c/p\u003e |
