  Providing a history of black people outside Africa, this book describes the societies from which Africans were seized for slavery, their long struggle for freedom, and their experience today in different countries, from Britain and America to Jamaica, Haiti and Brazil. It sets out to show how the diaspora has enriched world culture, in music, language and literature, the visual arts, sport and religion. The author left South Africa in 1960 for political exile in Britain, where he convened the 1964 International Conference of Economic Sanctions against South Africa.
