In Transatlantic Liverpool: Shades of the Black Atlantic<\/em>, Mark Christian presents a Black British study within the context of the transatlantic and Liverpool, England<\/a>. Taking a semi-autoethnographic<\/a> approach based on the author’s Black Liverpool heritage, Christian interacts with Paul Gilroy’s<\/a> notion of the Black Atlantic<\/a>. Yet, provides a fresh perspective that takes into account a famous British slave port’s history that has been overlooked or under-utilized. The longevity of Black presence in the city involves a history of discrimination, stigma, and a population group known colloquially as Liverpool Born Blacks (LBBs). Crucially, this book provides the reader with a deeper insight of the transatlantic in regard to the movement of Black souls and their struggle for acceptance in a hostile environment. This book is an evocative, passionate, and revealing read.<\/p>\n
