{"product_id":"ronald-roberts-the-lad-who-outwitted-the-nazis","title":"Ronald Roberts, the Lad Who Outwitted the Nazis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book documents in text and photographs the extraordinary life of a man who was both a Black German and a British Empire national.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRonald Roberts was born in Germany in 1921. As the son of a Barbadian father and a white mother, Roberts suffered racial persecution in Nazi Germany and spent the Second World War interned in a civilian camp as a British national. After the war, he made a new life for himself working with the British military in occupied Austria and finally settled in a postwar Britain that was barely coming to terms with its own colonial legacy. His experiences along the way are a record of endurance, inventiveness and the stubborn refusal to ‘go under’ in the face of persistent racism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoberts’ prison and camp letters to his parents (a unique source) and his postwar testimony are reproduced here, along with a short biography by his widow. His story is richly illustrated with family photos and documents, and an introduction and explanatory notes provide readers with critical and historical context. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56585217966424,"sku":"9781803748511","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781803748511.jpg?v=1779186628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ronald-roberts-the-lad-who-outwitted-the-nazis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
