    An African in Imperial London : The Indomitable Life of A.B.C. Merriman-Labor

    An African in Imperial London : The Indomitable Life of A.B.C. Merriman-Labor
    by Danell Jones
    English | 2018 | ISBN: 1849049602 | 326 Pages | PDF | 3.15 MB

    In a world dominated by the British Empire, and at a time when many Europeans considered black people inferior, Sierra Leonean writer A. B. C. Merriman-Labor claimed his right to describe the world as he found it. He looked at the Empire's great capital and laughed.

    In this first biography of Merriman-Labor, Danell Jones describes the tragic spiral that pulled him down the social ladder from writer and barrister to munitions worker, from witty observer of the social order to patient in a state-run hospital for the poor. In restoring this extraordinary man to the pantheon of African observers of colonialism, she opens a window onto racial attitudes in Edwardian London. An African in Imperial London is a rich portrait of a great metropolis, writhing its way into a new century of appalling social inequity, world-transforming inventions, and unprecedented demands for civil rights.
