br. Linton Kwesi Johnson, poeta e musicista di origine giamaicana residente a Londra dal 1963, è una delle figure di maggior spessore del panorama letterario britannico degli ultimi 40 anni e della scena reggae internazionale. Artista innovativo, è un vero e proprio punto di riferimento per i giovani, di colore e non, che cercano attraverso la sua musica e i suoi versi un riscatto dalle ingiustizie e lo stimolo alla lotta per i diritti umani. In questo libro la sua vita, narrata attraverso le sue parole e le interviste ad alcune persone a lui particolarmente vicine, è inserita all'interno del quadro storico, politico sociale e culturale anglo-caraibico entro cui ha preso forma la sua poesia dub. Una poesia di lotta che, fondendosi con la musica, ha lo scopo di risvegliare le coscienze e invocare un cambiamento.

cm. 17 x 24, 314 pp. Pensiero Politico (il) - Biblioteca Il cartista inglese W.J. Linton pubblic? nel primo numero della rivista ?The English Republic? il Manifesto to the Peoples of Europe. La rivista ? pubblicata a Londra dal 1851 al 1855 ? ci fa conoscere la diffusione del pensiero democratico di Mazzini, sostenitore di un partito d?azione per la ?European Democracy?, e consente di seguire il dibattito di quegli anni tra la proposta repubblicana di governo rappresentativo del popolo e quella comunista di governo statale della classe proletaria. W.J. Linton, an English Chartist, published the Manifesto to the Peoples of Europe in the first issue of the ?The English Republic? review. This journal, published in London from 1851 to 1855, outlines both the diffusion of Mazzini?s democratic idea of a party of action for ?European Democracy? and the debate arising in those years between the republican principle of a representative government and the communist ideology of a proletarian one. 564 gr. 314 p.

pp. ii, 360. Color lithographed (illuminated) title page, and two chapter heads. Numerous fine line woodcuts used as additional chapter heads or illustrations. Five full page etchings (four by Leech), browned from the ink in this example (as apparently in most others). Early half leather over marbled boards. Joints fragile. Large 4to. 280 mm. Hardbound. Very good. The editor, Douglas William Jerrold (1803-1857) was an English dramatist, writer, editor, and wit. He is most closely associated with PUNCH. Punch was a humorous and liberal publication and Jerrold, under the pseudonym 'Q', used satire to attack institutions of the day. His liberal satirical inclinations can be seen in 'The Illuminated Magazine' as well. The featured illustrator, John Leech (1817-1864) was an enormously popular English caricaturist and artist. Some of the articles are quite remarkable. Often noted are those on social conditions - prisons, the poor, etc. The articles illustrated by Kenny Meadows (1790-1874) are especially interesting and include one on witchcraft. Another fascinating article we've never seen previously noted is on BOWIE KNIVES. It bears illustrations from one of the Sheffield (England) manufacturers that exported so many Bowie Knives to the U.S. They became almost ubiquitous in the Civil War, especially (but not exclusively) on the Confederate side. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
