CHAPTER I. If it is not yet too late in the day to look up the antecedents of the famous Galloway Pict, " Billy Marshall," the results obtained from such a research would almost certainly repay the trouble of obtaining them.-He is introduced by several modern writers, though he was really of " the antique world." Not only because of his way of living, but literally so on account of his great age. For, although he lived on almost to the close of last century, his birth is placed as far back as the year 1671. This fact, therefore, gives him a great value; for if, like other true "gypsies," he clung tenaciously to all the customs of his forefathers--as far as the times would let him--then, in Billy Marshall, we have a representative of the Galloway Pict of the seventeenth century. Without attempting anything that can be dignified by the name of "research," let us see what some of these modern writers say of him. Of these, none has a better right to the first word than Scott: and this is what he tells us of the Galloway chief: --"Meg Merrilies is in Galloway considered as having had her origin in the traditions concerning the celebrated Flora Marsh 1l, one of the royal consorts of Willie Marshal, more commonly called the Cain/ Tinker of Barullion, King of the Gipsies of the Western Lowlands. In his "Additional Note" to "Guy Mannering." That potentate was himself deserving of notice, from the following peculiarities. He was born in the parish of Kirkmichael, about the year 1671; and as he died at Kirkcudbright, 23rd November, 1792, he must then have been in the one hundred and twentieth year of his age. It cannot be said that this unusually long lease of existence was noted by any peculiar excellence of conduct or...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new history of Britain that transforms our understanding of this country's past 'I've waited so long so read a comprehensively researched book about Black history on this island. This is it: a journey of discovery and a truly exciting and important work' Zainab Abbas Despite the best efforts of researchers and campaigners, there remains today a steadfast tendency to reduce the history of African and Caribbean people in Britain to a simple story: it is one that begins in 1948 with the arrival of a single ship, the Empire Windrush, and continues mostly apart from a distinct British history, overlapping only on occasion amid grotesque injustice or pioneering protest. Yet, as acclaimed historian Hakim Adi demonstrates, from the very beginning, from the moment humans first stood on this rainy isle, there have been African and Caribbean men and women set at Britain's heart. Libyan legionaries patrolled Hadrian's Wall while Rome's first 'African Emperor' died in York. In Elizabethan England, 'Black Tudors' served in the land's most eminent households while intrepid African explorers helped Sir Francis Drake to circumnavigate the globe. And, as Britain became a major colonial and commercial power, it was African and Caribbean people who led the radical struggle for freedom - a struggle which raged throughout the twentieth century and continues today in Black Lives Matter campaigns. Charting a course through British history with an unobscured view of the actions of African and Caribbean people, Adi reveals how much our greatest collective achievements - universal suffrage, our victory over fascism, the forging of the NHS - owe to these men and women, and how, in understanding our history in these terms, we are more able to fully understand our present moment.

Book excerpt: The development of Afrocentric historical writing is explored in this study which traces this recording of history from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the 19th century. Afrocentric writers are depicted as searching for the unique primary source of "culture" from one period to the next. Such passing on of cultural traits from the "ancient model" from the classical period to the origin of culture in Egypt and Africa is shown as being a product purely of creative history.
