About the Bristol EPE project
Identity and the City: A History of Ethnic Minorities in Bristol 1000-2001
Timed to to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery and entitled ‘Identity and the City: A History of Ethnic Minorities in Bristol 1000-2001‘, the project seeks to identify what makes up ethnic identity and help to answer questions such as: Who am I? Where am I from? In the current climate of suspicion of immigrant groups we expect this book to garner much media attention.
The Bristol project team is led by Madge Dresser and Dr Peter Fleming (UWE), both respected authorities on immigration and slavery. Madge has contributed to many successful popular broadcasts on the subject. Read more in the Staff Profiles page.
The project partner’s include The University of the West of England. View the project partners page.
Finally, you can read more about the aims of the England’s Past for Everyone project on the national website. View the EPE website.
