Life edit

Steven Ian Martin was born on 24 April 1961 in Bedford, England,[1][8] his parents settled having arrived in Britain from Antigua in 1954, and Martin received his education at Bedford Modern School.[8]

Martin's work is focused on Black British history and literature.[1][2] In particular he wished to redress the lack of published history on the presence of black people in Britain before the arrival of HMT Windrush in 1948.[8][5] His subsequent journalism, teaching, writing and scholarly work has addressed that lacuna, including his walking tours of London demonstrating "500 Years of Black London".[6][2]

Martin's first novel, Incomparable World (1996), charts the fate of three black exiles living in 18th-century London.[9] His work of non-fiction, Britain's Slave Trade, was written for Channel 4 to tie in with its four-part documentary series, Windrush, produced by Trevor Phillips.[10]

In 2007 Martin's novel for children, Jupiter Williams, was published.[11] It tells a contradictory tale of privilege and dispossession of a boy who lives at the African Academy in Clapham, London in 1800, the son of a wealthy Sierra Leone family.[12] Cesar Picton is a character in the novel.[13] The sequel, Jupiter Amidships, was published in 2009 and follows Jupiter and his brother who are trapped by a pressgang before boarding their home ship to Sierra Leone.[14]

Aside from authorship, Martin actively promotes the knowledge of Black British history through his work with London schools,[4] English Heritage, borough councils,[5] the National Maritime Museum, the Museum of London, the Museum of London Docklands, the Imperial War Museum, the Public Record Office[6][15] and the Black Cultural Archives.[16]

Martin lives and works in South London.[1]
