Theo Williams is a lecturer in twentieth-century British history at Durham University, UK. He specialises in the histories of anticolonialism and black radical politics. He co-organised the conference Anti-racism in Britain: Histories and Trajectories (2021) and has written for publications including African Studies Review, History Workshop Online, Libération, Modern Intellectual History, Review of African Political Economy and Twentieth Century British History.

Theo Williams authoritatively details how Black militant Pan-Africanist radicals in Britain around George Padmore not only fought for colonial liberation in Africa and the Caribbean during the 1930s and 1940s but also worked with the Independent Labour Party led by Fenner Brockway to help change the way half the British Left thought about racism and imperialism. This very impressive organisational history of the International African Service Bureau thus illuminates the wider relationship of socialism to black liberation in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and so represents an invaluable contribution to scholarship on 'the red and the black'.
