Key to understanding black British history - Sunday Times
Sharp and still relevant - Zadie Smith
Recognized as one of the great poets of modern times, Linton Kwesi Johnson is a deeply respected and influential political and cultural activist and social critic, as well as a prolific writer of non-fiction. In Time Come, he selects some of his most powerful prose – book and record reviews published in newspapers and magazines, lectures, obituaries and speeches – for the first time. Written over many decades, this collection draws creatively and critically on Johnson’s own Jamaican roots and on Caribbean history to explore the politics of race that continue to inform the Black British experience.
The work ranges from reflections on the place of music in Caribbean and Black British culture as a creative, defiant response to oppression, to penetrating appraisals of music and literature. It includes warm tributes to the activists and artists who inspired him to find his own voice as a poet and compelled him to contribute to the struggle for racial equality and social justice. Time Come is a panorama of an exceptional life, underscoring Johnson’s enduring importance in Britain’s cultural history and reminding us of his brilliant, unparalleled legacy.
With an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack.
