A retrospective look at the photographs of the British Jamaican artist Vanley Burke. Burke immigrated to the UK in 1965 and almost immediately began to photograph the African-Caribbean community in Birmingham of which he was part. Over the ensuing years he has continued to capture his community in both public and private spaces. The book brings together many of his images.
