A collaboration between Preston Black History Group (PBHG) and UCLan’s MIDEX [Research Centre for Migration, Diaspora and Exile] and IBAR [Institute of Black Atlantic Research], this report features eleven narratives about the lives of women and men from the Windrush generation who came to Lancashire in the 1950s and 1960s. In each chapter, interviewees discuss their upbringing, departure from the Caribbean and arrival in Britain, social and family life in Preston, reflections on the meaning of home and belonging, and challenges of finding work and accommodation. They tell of suffering and overcoming adversity and prejudice, as well as community self-organisation over the decades and of forging lasting friendships through sport, religion, and workplace environments.
