Pluto Press, 1982 - Political Science - 171 pages
Sivanandan's influence extends well beyond the limits of formal acknowledgement. His ideas and writings have been consistently quoted, copied and plagiarised. He was both and intellectual and an activist, his work has made a profound impact on the political life of Britain from the 1970s to the 2010s. This collection of his writings ranges widely - over the history of black struggles against British racism from the 1940s to the uprisings of Brixton and Toxleth in 1981: the Black Panthers: immigration and race policies of British governments: and 'the liberation of the black intellectual', including essays on individuals such as James Baldwin, Angela Davis and Paul Robeson. -- Publisher description.
