Set against the backdrop of impending World War II, a determined collective of Africans and West Indians in London initiated an anti-colonial movement aimed at ending British rule in Africa. Through the power of publishing, they produced books, pamphlets, and periodicals to articulate their vision of liberation. Key figures like George Padmore, C. L. R. James, Jomo Kenyatta, and I. T. A. Wallace Johnson challenged the hypocrisy of colonialism, asserting that it contradicted the democratic values Britain professed.
