Description

Uncover the Hidden Legacy of African Ingenuity in Britain and Beyond. Black Scientists & Inventors in the UK: Millenniums of Inventions & Innovations is the first comprehensive exploration of the immense contributions made by Black (African) scientists, inventors, and innovators to Britain’s scientific and technological heritage. This groundbreaking work by Michael Williams and Amalemba traces an epic journey that begins in Africa — the cradle of civilization — and continues across Europe and the British Isles, including the influence of the Caribbean diaspora. Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, the authors reveal one of history’s “best-kept secrets”: that Africans have been inventing, building, and advancing civilizations in Britain and Europe since as early as 8000 BCE — and continue to do so today. A vital and eye-opening read that redefines history, celebrates heritage, and inspires future generations of innovators.

Love the books, love the platform, keep up the good work Black Scientists & inventors team !

I bought the book 1 for my son many years ago I then followed it by buying the Black women Scientists & Inventors Vol 1 book for my twin daughters, the books had a massive impact on my children. I decided to treat myself to this book. I have found it to be excellent. It is the only book I could find on the Black British contribution to STEM. I have to say the Black Scientists & Inventors series have had a life changing impact on my family. Big up to the Black Scientists & Inventors Platform.
