Pauline Campbell

one woman's story of overcoming racism

Pauline Campbell was brought up on Rice and Peas and Fish and Chips after her parents crossed thousands of miles, leaving the warm shores of the Caribbean, to settle in Britain. This book will take the reader on a journey into where her generation has been. A generation of people who at their birth had no idea that the subsequent political events that were taking place throughout their young and adult lives would lead to a tsunami of inequality. In this vivid exploration of what it means to be British as a first-generation immigrant child of Caribbean parents, Campbell also examines race and racism, set against the historical, political and social climate of twentieth-century Britain
