First sentence: The emergence of Leeds as an important textile town in the nineteenth century was a direct consequence of Britain's economic and political relationships with colonial countries whose nationals susequently arrived here to seek employment and settlement.
Description: 'The fascination of this compilation, Land of Hope and Glory? that celebrates the Centenary of the City of Leeds, lies in the fact that it speaks with the voice of black people themselves, Caribean voices, South and East Asian voices, African vioces, a rich chorus of voices that is all too often drowned in the jargonistic cacophony of scholasticism, sometinmes paternalistic and kindly meant, at other times unsympathetic and hostile, but so rarely spoken with the true voice of black people themselves'.
