About this product

Product Information

This edition of a 1960s classic contains new and exclusive material including a posthumous introduction by the author and writer, Andrew Salkey. Salkey quotes a note made in his diary on the publication of the first edition which reads '...yes this is certainly part of my own experience of London. Donald's report is truthful and persuasively understated'. Also included is an article published in the Sunday Observer on April 24th, 1964, entitled 'the two way dream' one of the earliest voices of West Indian youth, poignantly recorded. Sharp, real and yet humorous, depicting the realities of life of those who made the journey. Donald Hinds sees himself as a witness and reporter and less that of an author who was privileged to have the opportunity of chronicling the lives and times of a group of people, at a particular point in time.
