Description
Ainsley Harriott travelled to the West Indies to uncover his roots and soon discovered that Caribbean history isn’t quite as ‘black and white’ as he’d imagined. Ainsley thought he already knew a lot about his father’s side of the family. He’d been told that his great-grandparents, on the maternal line, had come to Jamaica as indentured labourers from India. But when he began his research, he was shocked to find himself heading down a very different path in his family’s history.
