Aiming to show that the mongrelization of Britain and British literature began well before the second half of the 20th century, this selection incorporates 18th-century black writers with direct experience of the slave trade, such as Ignatius Sancho and Olaudah Equiano. It also looks at white writers whose accident of birth took place in a British colony, resulting in a similar sense of ambivalence, whether in the jingoism of a Rudyard Kipling or the social commitment of a George Orwell. And it reflects the emergence of a group of writers who demonstrate the same mixture of attachment and detachment which marks them as products of the British Empire, including V.S. Naipaul and Linton Kwesi Johnson.

Caryl Phillips is a highly respected writer known for his fiction, essays, and stage plays. He has also created radio plays, nine of which aired on the BBC from 1984 to 2016. Previously stored in Phillips's archives at Yale University, these works are now published in a collection, marking the first time they are available to the public. Though previously overlooked, these radio plays are significant contributions to Phillips's literary body. They showcase his signature blend of formal elegance and sharp social critique while providing intriguing comparisons to his other writings. The plays explore diverse themes, including the experience aboard an eighteenth-century slave ship, the life of a migrant family in 1980s England, James Baldwin's time in Paris, and Marvin Gaye's stay in Belgium. Each work creatively addresses expansive themes. Accompanied by a scholarly introduction from Bénédicte Ledent, this volume presents these plays for the first time, enhancing readers' understanding of Phillips's narrative techniques and offering insights into his imaginative world, which spans the history of the African diaspora and the challenges faced by displaced individuals globally.
