  • African and Caribbean People in Britain: A History by Hakim Adi (Allen Lane) nominated, which is handy for the author as his university, Chichester, made him redundant. Specialist MA courses tend not to make money as the numbers are small.
  • The shortlisted Vagabonds: Life on the Streets of Nineteenth Century London by Oskar Jensen (Duckworth Books) appeals as well.
  • Academic history, indeed any humanities subject, has an uncertain future outside Oxbridge. But as we know here there's more to history than academia.
  • Follow link for the other nominations.
