In There and Black Again, Don Letts, a filmmaker, musician, DJ, broadcaster, and social commentator, reflects on his exceptional life. As a British-born son of Windrush parents, Letts seamlessly navigated London's punk and reggae scenes, earning his reputation as the 'Rebel Dread.' The book takes readers on a journey through Letts' experiences, including befriending Bob Marley, managing The Slits on The Clash's White Riot tour, and becoming a highly regarded video director during the MTV era. The narrative unfolds like scenes from a movie shot in various locations, featuring a cast that includes Joe Strummer, John Lydon, Bob Marley, and more. The story encompasses civil unrest, live music, humor, and political struggle, offering a refreshing and unexpected perspective on a man unafraid to tread his own path.
