Going Home Yve Jackson

This is the story of William Johnson a migrant from Jamaica, who went to England in the 1950s. It was here that he was first subjected to racism. He found that the culture he had left behind was vastly different to the country he would now be living in. William along with countless other young migrants from the Caribbean expected to be here for no more than five years before being able to return home with money they had saved from working in England. Sadly this never happened. Not only for William but for many thousands more. 'Going Home' takes us on a journey from Jamaica to England, and a life spent longing to return home. A rollercoaster of emotions ensue.
