A study of black people in England in the 18th century. In Shakespeare's England, black people were numerous enough for Elizabeth I to demand they all leave the country but by the eighteenth century blacks could be found in pubs and clubs. There were churches for blacks, balls held for blacks only and organizations to help blacks in trouble or out of work. Some were wealthy and respected but many more were servants or beggars. Then there were the slaves and the dark business of kidnapping blacks and exporting them to the West Indies.
