Writer here, crossposting to a few different subs for the best chances. I'm looking to write a Victorian period piece that doesn't come off as entirely ignorant to the lived experiences of Black, Asian, and/or Romani people that lived in England during that time. I'm looking for books by POC authors who may have lived in Britain during the 1860's or close to then, resources that discuss the rampant orientalism of the time or how freed people led their lives after the abolishment of slavery in 1833, stories about any prominent figures of the time who were POC, literally anything associated with these points. Even resources on the topics from uneducated or ignorant standpoints would be beneficial to understanding the full scope of things. Thank you!!
