When you think of Tudor-era England, you likely think of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens... and a single nationality living there. But in fact, immigrants came to (and left) England throughout the Tudor era. Author Nandini Das shares the stories of many of these people in her new book This Little World: A New History of Tudor and Stuart England. Nandini joins us on the podcast to share some of these stories and how the Tudors worked hard to build England's national identity to solidify their precarious rule.

Tudor England is often thought of as overwhelmingly white. But in fact, people of African descent had a far greater presence than has previously been recognized. We're joined for this episode by Dr. Onyeka Nubia. Dr. Nubia's original research shows that Tudors from many walks of life regularly interacted with people of African descent, both at home and abroad, revealing a genuine pragmatism towards race and acceptance of difference.
