The Good, the Black and the Boujee cover

This book provides a profound exploration of the Black elite and the emerging Black middle class in the UK, highlighting their stories and contributions.

This insightful non-fiction work delves into the lives and experiences of the Black elite and the emerging Black middle class in the UK. Through a memoir-led narrative, it highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of these groups to British society. The author explores the complexities of identity, class, and race, revealing how the dynamics of the middle class have evolved over the past two decades.

As the traditional class structures in Britain shift, the rise of Black Britons in high-profile industries serves as a testament to their resilience and determination. The book challenges prevailing media narratives that often marginalize these communities, instead offering a platform for their voices and stories. Readers are invited to understand the nuances of class and race, and how they intersect in the lives of Black professionals.

By shedding light on the achievements and challenges faced by these groups, the work aims to foster a greater appreciation for the diversity within Britain's social fabric. It offers a rich exploration of aspirations, struggles, and triumphs, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary issues of race and class in the UK.
