A Different Hunger

By A. Sivanandan

'Few writers can claim to have approached so clearly the organic connection between analysis and practice' – Stuart Hall

'One of the most exciting and controversial political thinkers in Britain' – Guardian

A. Sivanandan (1928-2018) was one of the UK's leading public intellectuals, Director of the Institute of Race Relations and the author of countless classics. This collection of his writings looks at the history of Black struggles against British racism from the 1940s to the uprisings of Brixton and Toxteth in the 1980s, exploring decades of Black resistance, organising and community survival.
