Title: From Bobby to Babylon
Description: From Bobby to Babylon, originally published in 1988, compiles a series of articles and interviews providing background and context to the urban rebellions that erupted across Britain after the Brixton riots of 1981, from the perspective of black people in Britain. Darcus Howe, born in Trinidad and a prominent political activist and journalist, reflects on over 50 years of activism focused on police oppression in the black community. The book covers his involvement in the Mangrove Nine trial and his wide-ranging journalism, from sports to political commentary.
