Everyone Everywhere : 21 Stories of Mixed Race Britain

A powerful, interview-driven portrait of Britain that reveals the overlooked lives and voices shaping its identity across the generations

Everyone Everywhere blends oral history, reportage and storytelling to uncover a major yet neglected thread in Britain’s national story – the experience of its mixed-race communities. Through dozens of vivid interviews and years of archival research, Lucas Fothergill pieces together an alternative history of the country: one told through the lives of those who have shaped, challenged and redefined what it means to be British. From the descendants of empire to the artists, activists and everyday people who navigate identity in modern Britain, these are stories of resilience, creativity and belonging. Each chapter offers a self-contained portrait that builds into a sweeping, deeply human narrative of change and connection. Insightful, emotional and resonant, Everyone Everywhere is both a work of history and a vital conversation about who we are – and who we might yet become.
