New Beacon Books, the UK’s first black publisher, specialist bookshop and international book distributor, will be coming to UCL! Come along and browse a selection of books from 10am-12pm on Thursday the 9th of October.
A little bit about the bookshop, New Beacon Books was founded in 1966 by John La Rose and his partner Sarah White, inspired by John La Rose’s advanced political and cultural vision derived from experience in the Caribbean and South America. The bookshop has been at the centre of many ground-breaking political and social projects, organisations and campaigns. For over 50 years New Beacon Books has made available to Britain and its communities, poetry, literature, non-fiction, history and children’s books from Africa, Caribbean, Asia, African America, Europe, South America and Black Britain.
