Book Synopsis
On the eve of World War II, a small group of Africans and West Indians in London dared to imagine the unimaginable: the end of British rule in Africa. In books, pamphlets, and periodicals, they launched an anti-colonial campaign that used publishing as a pathway to liberation. This book traces the development of this publishing community.
