282 p, In the last 50 years, the United Kingdom has witnessed a growing proportion of mixed African-Caribbean and white British families. With rich new primary evidence of 'mixed-race' in the capital city, The Creolisation of London Kinship thoughtfully explores this population. Individuals are followed through changing social and historical contexts, seeking to understand in how far many of these transformations may be interpreted as creolisation.

Notes:
156 P., Focusing on the immigration of West Indians to Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, these seven one-act radio plays vividly capture the loneliness and isolation that can be felt in one of the world's largest cities. With characteristic humor and poignancy, these stories touch on the dreams and disappointments of both the young and old as they face racial and class differences in a sprawling, urban London.

Notes:
149 P., The derelict house in Shepherd's Bush that Moses takes on becomes the scene for a topsy-turvy, irreverent sequence of events. The account of his attempts to cope with situations, together with a penchant for early wholesome philosophizing, form the basis of this book (Google).
