Making the Revolution Global: Black Radicalism and the British Socialist Movement before Decolonisation By Theo Williams.

In "Making the Revolution Global: Black Radicalism and the British Socialist Movement before Decolonisation," Theo Williams explores the contributions of Black pan-Africanist radicals to the British Left from the 1930s to the 1940s. The book highlights activists and intellectuals such as Kwame Nkrumah, C.L.R. James, Jomo Kenyatta, Amy Ashwood Garvey, and George Padmore, who fought for Black liberation in Africa and the Caribbean and reshaped the British Left. Williams chronologically traces the formation and development of the International African Service Bureau (IASB) and the Pan-African Federation (PAF), emphasizing the communication of strategies through journals and conferences. While the book does not extensively connect these contributions to the current socio-political landscape of Britain, it fills a gap in the documentation of Black radicalism within the British socialist movement and emphasizes the importance of forging alliances across borders and movements today.
