Black Radical brings the history of Black people in Britain to life through a breadth of poetry to demonstrate that one thing is for certain: though we have struggled, we have survived.Politics have been the constant backdrop for the poetry of Black Britain. Even Black poets who may not consider themselves political have written political poetry or poetry that comes from struggle. Some of these poets migrated to Britain, some were born here and others still were just passing through. Black Radical brings both pivotal moments and the everyday lived experience of Black people in Britain within one volume.This anthology brings together poetry from poet laureates such as Jackie Kay, prize-winning poets such as Fred D'Aguiar, internationally renowned poets such as Linton Kwesi Johnson, leaders and activists such as Marcus Garvey, John La Rose and Una Marson; there are also a significant number of poets in the community whose stories of everyday struggle have until now remained unpublished and unheard.

''A vital and timely introduction to some of the best books I''ve ever read. Perfectly curated and filled with brilliant literature''Nikesh Shukla''The ultimate introduction to post-colonial literature for those who want to understand the classics and the pioneers in this exciting area of books''Symeon BrownThese are the books you should read. This is the canon.Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne and Kadija Sesay have curated a decolonized reading list that celebrates the wide and diverse experiences of people from around the world, of all backgrounds and all races. It disrupts the all-too-often white-dominated ''required reading'' collections that have become the accepted norm and highlights powerful voices and cultural perspectives that demand a place on our shelves.From literary giants such as Toni Morrison and Chinua Achebe to less well known (but equally vital) writers such as Caribbean novelist Earl Lovelace or Indigenous Australian author Tony Birch, the novels recommended here are in turn haunting and lyrical; innovative and inspiring; edgy and poignant.The power of great fiction is that readers have the opportunity to discover new worlds and encounter other beliefs and opinions. This is the Canon offers a rich and multifaceted perspective on our past, present and future which deserves to be read by all bibliophiles - whether they are book club members or solitary readers, self-educators or teachers.
