In this landmark collection, writers of African descent contribute original, almost exclusively brand new work from across the writing spectrum. Divided into three sections reflecting first, second and third generations, the book focuses on four types of writing - poetry, short fictions, essays and memoirs.

IC3 chronicles the times that we live in by documenting a slice of Black Culture in Britain, dissected and examined under expert eyes - the eyes of those who make up this culture. Here is a taste of their dreams, hopes, fantasies, desires, fears and laughter, including: Poetry from Roger Robinson, David Dabydeen, Bernardine Evaristo, Jackie Kay and Benjamin Zephaniah; short stories from Ferdinand Dennis, Diana Omo Evans, Catherine Johnson, E.A. Markham and Ray Shell; essays from Floella Benjamin, Linda Bellos, Treva Etienne, Kevin Le Gendre and Labi Siffre; memoirs from Margaret Busby, Henry Bonsu, Buchi Emecheta, Sol B. River, Leone Ross, and many others.

IC3 reflects the enormous diversity and richness of writing in Black Britain today.
