Darcus Howe: a Political Biography examines the struggle for racial
justice in Britain, through the lens of one of Britain's most
prominent and controversial black journalists and campaigners. Born
in Trinidad during the dying days of British colonialism, Howe
became an uncompromising champion of racial justice. The book
examines how Howe's unique political outlook was inspired by the
example of his friend and mentor C.L.R. James, and forged in the
heat of the American civil rights movement, as well as Trinidad's
Black Power Revolution. The book sheds new light on Howe's leading
role in the defining struggles in Britain against institutional
racism in the police, the courts and the media. It focuses on his
part as a defendant in the trial of the Mangrove Nine, the high
point of Black Power in Britain; his role in conceiving and
organizing the Black People's Day of Action, the largest ever
demonstration by the black community in Britain; and his later work
as one of a prominent journalist and political commentator.
