Subjects of the Queen - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This novel, written in the nineteen sixties, is a perfectly preserved time capsule of that period. Written from personal experience, it describes the antics and adventures of various Notting Hill Gate characters, Africans, West Indians, hippies and social workers. In Subjects of the Queen it is always the children who suffer most from the ideologies of their elders but not betters. This is Black History brought to life. Written when social workers were in their heyday, it can only now be published, since they have fallen into ignominy. It is a useful corrective for those misguided individuals who wish they were around during the hippie flower power era . Like an ancient insect encased in amber, Subjects of the Queen shows us the living tissue of a neglected, shameful period of social history from the very recent past.
