4.9/5 (30067 ratings)

Description:This is the first biography of the extraordinary – but also ordinary – life of Patrick Nelson, whose experiences touched on some of the most important and intriguing historical themes of the 20th century.Nelson was a black migrant to interwar Britain; an aristocrat's valet in rural Wales; a gay man in 1930s London; an artist's model; a law student, a recruit to the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps and POW in the Second World War. Through his return to Jamaica after the war and his re-migrations to London in the late 1940s and late 1950s/early 1960s, he was also witness to post-war Jamaican struggles and the independence movement as well as the development of London's post-war multi-ethnic migrations. Drawing on previously unpublished letters sent to individuals such as Bloomsbury group artist Duncan Grant (his former boyfriend and life-long friend), paintings and newspaper articles, Gemma Romain explores the intersections of these diverse aspects of Nelson's life and demonstrates how such marginalized histories shed light on our understanding of broader historical events.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
