Great Regulars: Black British writers have unveiled

and critiqued Britain’s creaking welfare state, educational system, foster care practices, and neighborhood mores. Their novels and short stories explore all aspects of life: home, love, sex, marriage, children, work; and they do so with wit, passionate intelligence, and great good humor. Their poems, too, sound out many of the same themes, imbuing the language with the verve and originality that come from artistic legacies inherited from nearly every corner of the old British Empire.
