Description

Darcus Howe: A Political Biography examines the struggle for racial justice in Britain through the life and work of one of its most prominent black journalists and campaigners. Born during the dying days of British colonialism, Howe has become an uncompromising champion of racial justice. The book sheds new light on Howe's role in key struggles against institutional racism, including his involvement in the Mangrove Nine trial and the Black People's Day of Action, which remains one of the largest demonstrations by the black community in Britain. This biography offers a nuanced understanding of Howe's unique political outlook, forged in the heat of the American civil rights movement and Trinidad's Black Power Revolution. Through its examination of Howe's life and work, this book provides valuable insights into the defining struggles for racial justice in Britain during the 20th century.
