A Different Hunger
Writings on Black Resistance
A collection of Sivanandan's work charting the history of post war black struggles against British racism
This collection of his writings ranges widely – over the history of black struggles against British racism from the 1940s to the uprisings of Brixton and Toxleth in 1981: the Black Panthers: immigration and race policies of British governments: and ‘the liberation of the black intellectual’, including essays on individuals such as James Baldwin, Angela Davis and Paul Robeson.
A. Sivanandan (1928-2018) is regarded as one of the leading Black political thinkers in the UK. He was Director Emeritus of the Institute of Race Relations and the editor of the revered journal Race and Class. He is the author of countless classics, including Catching History on the Wing (Pluto, 2008) and A Different Hunger (Pluto, 1991). He contributed the foreword to A Suitable Enemy (Pluto, 2009).
