BY THE WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR JOURNALISM 2023

A powerful collection of journalism on race, racism and Black life and death from one of the nation's leading political voices.

'An outstanding journalist and chronicler.'
BERNARDINE EVARISTO
'Fused with truth, power and illumination.'
DAVID LAMMY
'Every citizen - and citizen journalist - should have a copy.' LEMN SISSAY
'In short, it is a public service.'
NESRINE MALIK

For the last three decades Gary Younge has had a ringside seat during the biggest events and with the most significant personalities to impact the black diaspora: accompanying Nelson Mandela on his first election campaign, joining revellers on the southside of Chicago during Obama's victory, entering New Orleans days after hurricane Katrina or interviewing Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Maya Angelou and Stormzy. He has witnessed how much change is possible and the power of systems to thwart those aspirations.

Dispatches from the Diaspora is an unrivalled body of work from a unique perspective that takes you to the frontlines and compels you to engage and to 'imagine a world in which you might thrive, for which there is no evidence. And then fight for it.'

Review

Younge's work retains a sharp and grounded view, exulting the power of community to make change rather than the promises of individuals. -- Samir Jeraj ― New Statesman

No single journalist has done more to shape my understanding of Black diaspora's experiences in the world today - Gary Younge's is not a first draft of history, but storytelling that will survive us all. This book is a reminder of why his work is as timeless and vital as ever. -- Afua Hirsch

Gary Younge has borne witness to some of the most critical events in the Black diaspora in recent times with an honest and humane eye. He tells our story with clarity and elegance. This is a pleasurable and powerful read. -- John Legend

Gary's always impressive writing encompasses the voices of so many people who would otherwise go completely unheard. -- Jeremy Corbyn

Dispatches from the Diaspora is a collection of extraordinary range that exemplifies Younge's gift to his readers over the years - a journalism that is sober and clear eyed, but always undergirded by optimism and faith in humanity. In short, it is a public service. -- Nesrine Malik

Gary Younge writes with Swiss watch attention to detail about the things that matter. He nails his subject matter with accuracy, intelligence and not a little charm. -- Lenny Henry

On any subject I refer to the writings of Gary Younge. He writes with such passion and knowledge that no matter the subject you come away moved and enlightened. -- Dawn Butler

Gary Younge is one of Britain's few true public intellectuals. These essays speak to his characteristic blend of discernment, clarity and humane vision, a tonic for our fighting spirit in wearying times. -- Priyamvada Gopal

The past 30 years saw the end of apartheid, the election of Barack Obama and the foundation of the Black Lives Matter movement. Gary Younge has been there on the frontline throughout this time, translating history into words fused with truth, power and illumination. -- David Lammy

I love this book. Every citizen - and every citizen journalist - should have a copy. -- Lemn Sissay

Gary Younge is an outstanding journalist and chronicler of the African diaspora. -- Bernardine Evaristo

Gary is one of our most observant and beautiful writers. No other journalist/author I know of has his intellectual vigour, emotional understanding and grace. -- Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

There is much to be frustrated by in the lack of social progress laid bare by Younge's writing, but hope reigns supreme. -- Hugh Russell ― Buzz Magazine

A journalist who throughout his career has shown a commitment to exploring, explaining and challenging his audience. -- Katy Balls

Compelling, nuanced reflections on politics, history and culture . . . In their force and variety the essays constitute a rejection of the warning Younge received at the start of his career - that he risked pigeonholing himself by writing about race. -- Franklin Nelson ―
