Life Between Islands: Caribbean-British Art 50s - Now explores the relationship between the Caribbean and Britain in art from the 1950s to the present day; a social and cultural history more often told through literature or popular music. It is a multi-generational story of a Caribbean community that settled in Britain and forged a new Black British identity and culture. Featuring a wide array of artworks - by artists including Aubrey Williams, Frank Bowling, Althea McNish, Donald Locke, Sonia Boyce, Isaac Julien, Lubaina Himid, Peter Doig, Chris Ofili, Steve McQueen, Alberta Whittle, and many more - this book provides a platform for artists hailing from or in dialogue with the Caribbean. Engaging with the complex cross-cultural narratives of the past, exploring the social, cultural and political issues of the time, and pointing to the future, it offers a multi-layered and vital account of postwar and contemporary Caribbean-British art history and is a celebration of the communities that have shaped modern Britain.

Grace Wales Bonner, a British fashion designer.'The book is a wonderful and timely opportunity to do full justice to the extraordinary art history of Caribbean connection in British art, mostly by British artists of Caribbean heritage. This is an art history that reflects deeply and with great vitality on a broader cultural, political, social and intellectual experience. We are proud to bring together the work of 46 extraordinary artists from across four generations, alongside a rich, incisive set of essays and commentaries, within this handsome publication'Alex Farquharson, co-editor and Director of Tate Britain.

27 x 21.5cm. Hardcover, 271pp. This fascinating book traces the connection between Britain and the Caribbean in the visual arts from the 1950s to today, a social and cultural history more often told through literature or popular music. With its multi-generational perspective, it reveals that the Caribbean connection in British art is one of the richest facets of art in Britain since the Second World War, and is a lens through which to understand the Caribbean diasporic experience in all its social, cultural, psychological and political complexities across generations. Featuring around 40 artists - among them Aubrey Williams, Frank Bowling, Althea McNish, Donald Locke, Sonia Boyce, Isaac Julien, Black Audio Film Collective, Lubaina Himid, Peter Doig, Chris Ofili, Steve McQueen, Alberta Whittle, and many more - it includes a variety of works mostly by UK-based African-Caribbean artists, but also by artists who were not originally from the Caribbean but who relocated there or have made important work about it. Arranged chronologically it sheds light on a number of themes such as Caribbean modernism, social and political struggles, subculture and its policing, the front room as a private and public space, after-images of slavery and the Middle Passage, and syncretic and creolised metaphor and allegory (carnival, folklore, new world religions). Readers will find themselves charting a course between two worlds: London or other urban localities in the UK and images of formerly British Caribbean nations. With contributions by a variety of authors, including Paul Gilroy and fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner, Oceans Apart presents post-war British art history in its global and transnational dimensions, and reveals how these were shaped by the struggle against Empire and its legacies.
