Roger McKenzie, a towering figure in the British labour movement and internationalist journalism, reignites the radical tradition of African self-liberation, tracing a lineage of resistance from the heart of the empire to the frontlines of the emerging Global South.
He shatters the myth of freedom granted from above, exposing a relentless, global fight waged in the metropolis and the colony alike.
Join him on a journey from the foundational organising of the Colonial Seamen's Association and the League of Coloured Peoples to the pivotal battles against the Colour Bar in Britain, connecting the intellectual firepower and enduring activism of C.L.R. James, W.E.B. Du Bois, George Padmore, Angela Davis and Claudia Jones.
McKenzie investigates the Communist International's complex role, reclaims the radical potential of the Windrush legacy, and maps the ongoing struggle to lay a 'new Jericho road'.
This is a provocative, essential guide to the unfinished war for African Uhuru. It challenges you to see the interconnected threads of diaspora activism, Pan-Africanism, and class solidarity that have shaped and will define the fight for true liberation.
