Episode Synopsis

This week I met with Dr Edson Burton to discuss the history of Bristol's West Indian Community. The first Caribbean immigrants arrived in Bristol following the Second World War and have since had a major impact on the city and its development. We talk about the challenges and opportunities facing migrants, both then and now: assimiliation, discrimination, cultural expression and innovation.
