DESCRIPTION:Migration is the most controversial political topic in the Bri
 tain of 2018. Issues around  migration underpinned and informed much of th
 e BREXIT debate and infuse wider debates about Britishness and identity. Y
 et migration and the immigrant communities it has created are also the foc
 us of a huge amount of new research\, scholarship and awareness. For Brita
 in's black community expanded knowledge of\, and pride in\, the longer his
 tories of their communities - histories that stretch back far beyond 1945 
 - is now at odds with this new mood. History itself is being contested as 
 some nationalist voices seek to dismiss historical fact and counter resear
 ch with opinion and 'alternative facts'. Two conflicting and contradictory
  visions of British  history and identity\, and the role of migration in f
 orging them\, are beginning to develop.\n\nBiography\n\nDavid Olusoga is a
 n Anglo-Nigerian historian\, broadcaster and author.\nAmongst other work\,
  David presented and produced BAFTA award winning Britain’s Forgotten Sl
 ave Owners for the BBC\, in collaboration with UCL\, and was the winner of
  the Pen Hessell-Tiltman prize for his most recent book which accompanied 
 the TV series of the same name\, Black and British: a Forgotten History.
