Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can understand the experiences of Caribbean people in Britain and how Levy shows their stories.

Show transcript
Levy describes her parents' experiences of migration and the disparity between expectations and reality. The term "Small Island" refers not just to the geographical space but also to the mindset of people living there. The term ‘Mother Country’ is a powerful concept. Levy wants to foreground the voices of those absent from history like the Caribbean soldiers who fought in WWII. Levy has pride in her ancestry and believes that the Caribbean should be recognised, as part of Britain's history.
