A new focus on...Textbooks for KS3 History

This book is terrific. I was struck by the breadth of the coverage, the clean, accessible style of the prose, and the sensitivity with which some very challenging material has been handled. This is an empowering and, in my view, powerfully anti-racist resource, which will benefit students of all backgrounds.

Review of Black Lives in Britain

This book is a very important new development in British social history, offering a fresh take on a coherent story of the British people. Its choice to focus on marginalised groups – women, disabled people, Gypsy Roma Traveller people and queer people brings to light many stories that have seldom been told and even more rarely highlighted at secondary school level.
