In Time Come he selects some of his most powerful prose book and music reviews published in newspapers and magazines lectures obituaries and speeches for the first time. Written over many decades these works draw on Johnson's own Jamaican roots and on Caribbean history to explore the politics of race that continue to inform the Black British experience. Ranging from reflections on the place of music in Caribbean and Black British culture as a creative defiant response to oppression to penetrating appraisals of novels films poems and plays and including warm tributes paid to the activists and artists who inspired him to contribute to the struggle for racial equality and social justice Time Come is a panorama of an exceptional life. Venturing into memoir it underscores Johnson's enduring importance in Britain's cultural history and reminds us of his brilliant unparalleled legacy.
