      ab: A tribute to Buzz Johnson (1951–2014), who created in the UK one of the most important and prolific black publishing houses on and for Caribbean peoples. For him publishing – anything from forgotten history to rap poetry, social commentary and fiction – which related to the Caribbean or the struggles of its peoples in the UK – was part of public education. He managed to recover forgotten histories, get up-and-coming writers known and keep in print classics by Caribbean stalwarts, and all without financial backing and commercial back-up. An example, argues the author, of an activist-publisher and true educator.
