Incomparable world

A visceral reimagining of 1780s London, showcasing the untold stories of African-American soldiers grappling with their post-war freedom 'Remarkable' David Dabydeen In the years just after the American revolution, London was the unlikely refuge for thousands of black Americans who fought for liberty on the side of the British. Buckram, Georgie and William have earned their freedom and escaped their American oppressors, but on the streets of London, poverty awaits with equal cruelty.

Bursting with energy and vivid detail, Incomparable World boldly uncovers a long-buried narrative of black Britain.
