The Black Writers' Book Club (BWBC) focuses on books written by Black British writers.
Books are a powerful way to discover the world around us and make changes. BWBC promotes literacy, visibility and the joy of reading Black authors.
We make our choices thoughtfully and look for ways to deepen our connection to books, writers, and ourselves.
We meet on the last Wednesday of the month and welcome readers from African, Caribbean and other Black British backgrounds, as well as readers of other ethnicities who are interested in Black British writing.

Beryl Gilroy's Black Teacher
In 1952, Beryl Gilroy moved from British Guiana to London. Her new life wasn't what she expected - but her belief in education resulted in a revolutionary career. Black Teacher, her memoir, is a rediscovered classic: not only a rare insight into the Windrush generation, but a testament to how her dignity, ambition and spirit transcended her era (Waterstone).
