For the last three decades, Gary Younge has sat ringside during the biggest events and with the most significant personalities to impact the black diaspora, witnessing the possibility of change and the power of systems to thwart those aspirations. Dispatches from the Diaspora is an unrivalled body of work that takes you to the frontlines and compels you to 'imagine a world in which you might thrive, for which there is no evidence. And then fight for it.'
