“Black England was originally published in the early 1990s after Gretchen visited a Bloomsbury bookshop in search of a book on Black British history, only to be told there were no Black people in England prior to 1945. Gretchen immediately went away and wrote Black England. This is an updated edition with an introduction from Zadie Smith – Black England is often cited among prominent Black writers as the book that paved the way for their own work, including Zadie Smith, David Olusoga, Benjamin Zephaniah and more.”

“Cass McCombs crafts striking alt-pop incantations imbued with enigmatic poeticism. For his tenth studio album, the American musician and songwriter brought country singer Wynonna Judd on board alongside the likes of Cactus Moser, Shahzad Ismaily and jazz multi-instrumentalist Kassa Overall.”
