David Olusoga Books in Order

David Olusoga and Casper Erichsen investigate Germany’s colonial genocide against the Herero and Nama in Namibia. Tracing dispossession, extermination and concentration camps, they examine connections between imperial racial policies and the later emergence of Nazi violence in Europe.

Olusoga examines the First World War through the millions of non-European soldiers drawn into it by colonial empires. Their service and sacrifices reveal the conflict's global reach and the racial assumptions that shaped their treatment.

Olusoga traces the intertwined histories of Britain, Africa and the Caribbean from Roman times onward. Drawing on records and personal stories, he examines slavery, empire, war and migration as central parts of Britain's shared national history.

Through art created, exchanged and seized across the world, Olusoga examines encounters between cultures and the idea of progress. His account moves from the age of exploration to industrialization, considering curiosity, conquest and the legacies of empire.

David Olusoga and Melanie Backe-Hansen explore British history through the lives of ordinary houses and their occupants. Alongside stories of changing neighborhoods, class and industry, they explain how readers can investigate the past of their own homes.

David, Yinka and Kemi Olusoga present an entry for every day of the year, exploring Black history around the world. Famous figures and less familiar lives appear alongside events, artworks and movements of resistance, creativity and change.
