Are You Calling Me Black?

A look at the deep rooted differences between the different cultures within the British black community and the possible reasons behind the on-going clashes between the black British of African origin and those of Caribbean origin. The book examines the resulting effect on the current black generation of their various ethnic origins, from the slums of Lagos, Calcutta and Jamaica to the swinging sixties in London and Birmingham. This tale will be told from the point of view of a young British born African who spent the earlier part of his life growing up in the slums of Lagos, Nigeria. He examines the issues with his African, Asian and Jamaican friends of a wholly multicultural British society with the overwhelming myths and preconceptions.
