“There were Africans in Britain before the English came here.” The opening sentence of Peter Fryer’s Staying Power: The history of black people in Britain (1984), an irritant to white ethnonationalists, challenges the myth of Britain’s homogeneity. If we are defined by the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, then the story of Britain’s identity has long been mythologized. Recently, the writer Zakia Sewell in Finding Albion: Myth, folklore and the quest for a hidden Britain, and the playwright Winsome Pinnock in The Authenticator, have exploded those myths, and explosions like these are increasingly evident in all art forms, especially among works by visual artists such as Hurvin Anderson.
