rdf:langString British African-Caribbean people are an ethnic group in the United Kingdom. They are British citizens whose ancestry originates from the Caribbean or they are nationals of the Caribbean who reside in the UK. There are some self-identified Afro-Caribbean people who are multi-racial. The most common and traditional use of the term African-Caribbean community is in reference to groups of residents continuing aspects of Caribbean culture, customs and traditions in the UK. The earliest generations of Afro-Caribbean people to migrate to Britain trace their ancestry to a wide range of Afro Caribbean ethnic groups. African Caribbean people descend from disparate groups of African peoples who were brought, sold and taken from West Africa as slaves to the colonial Caribbean. In addition British African Caribbeans may have ancestry from various indigenous Caribbean tribes, and from settlers of European and Asian ethnic groups. According to the National Library of Medicine the average African Caribbean person has on average 20% European Admixture. Arriving in small numbers to reside in port cities in England and Wales since the mid-18th century, the most significant wave of migration came after World War II, coinciding with the decolonisation era and the dissolution of the British Empire. Known as the Windrush generation, they had arrived as citizens of United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKCs) in the 1950s and 1960s owing to birth in the former British colonies of the Caribbean. Although those who settled in the UK prior to 1973 were granted either right of abode or indefinite leave to remain by the Immigration Act 1971, a series of governmental policies had caused some to be erroneously labelled as unlawfully residing in the UK in the 2000s and 2010s, which subsequently became known as the Windrush scandal. The population has a diverse background, with origins in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Barbados, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Montserrat, Anguilla, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Guyana, and Belize. In the 21st century, African-Caribbean communities are present throughout the United Kingdom's major cities, and the surviving members of this generation, sometimes called the Windrush Britons, and their descendents, constitute the multi-ethnic cultural group residing in the country. As there isn't a specific UK census category which comprehensively covers the community, population numbers remain somewhat ambiguous. 'Black Caribbean' (under a 'Black British' heading), and 'Mixed: White and Black Caribbean' (under a 'Mixed' heading) denote full or partial descent, and recorded 594,825 and 426,715 persons, respectively, at the 2011 United Kingdom census. 'White: White Caribbean', 'Mixed: Caribbean Asian' and 'Mixed: White Caribbean' are census categories which were also utilised. In this regard, and illustrating complexities within African Caribbean peoplehood, there are notable examples of those with a parent or grandparent of African-Caribbean ancestry identifying with, or being perceived as, white people in the United Kingdom.

rdf:langString La communauté afro-caribéenne du Royaume-Uni désigne la population noire britannique originaire des Antilles britanniques, qui était elle-même descendante des personnes amenées d'Afrique aux Amériques en tant qu’esclaves entre le XVIe siècle et le XIXe siècle. Du fait de la montée dans les années 1990 de l'immigration au Royaume-Uni en provenance des pays d'Afrique, on emploie aussi cette appellation pour désigner les citoyens britanniques d'origine africaine, si bien que le terme regroupe aujourd'hui à la fois les notions d'origine africaine et caribéenne. L'utilisation la plus courante de ce terme se rapporte à tout groupe de personnes résidant sur le sol britannique et adoptant les us, traditions et coutumes de la culture caribéenne. La grande majorité de la population afro-caribéenne britannique est d'origine Jamaïquaine et Trinidadienne. Cependant, les afro-caribéens sont originaires d'une multitude d'autres États, dont Saint-Christophe-et-Niévès, la Barbade, Sainte-Lucie, la Grenade, Montserrat, la Dominique, Anguilla, Antigua-et-Barbuda, Saint-Vincent-et-les-Grenadines, et la Guyana, tous situés en Amérique, ayant une culture caribéenne et considérés historiquement comme faisant partie des colonies britanniques de cette partie du globe. Un certain nombre de celles-ci sont des territoires britanniques d'outre-mer, dont les ressortissants sont donc « citoyen d'un territoire britannique d'outre-mer » ( (en) ou BOTC) et donc dotés de plein droit de la citoyenneté britannique depuis le British Overseas Territories Act de 2002. La communauté est dispersée dans tout le Royaume-Uni, même si elle est principalement et massivement concentrée à Londres, Birmingham et dans les Midlands de l'Ouest. Des communautés afro-américaines importantes existent également dans d'autres villes urbaines, notamment à Manchester, Nottingham, Leicester, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool et Cardiff. Dans ces villes, la communauté est traditionnellement associée à un quartier ou une zone particulière, comme à Leeds ou St. Pauls à Bristol.
