        A pioneer in the field of cultural studies, Stuart Hall produced an impressive body of work on the relationship between culture and power. His contributions to critical theory and the study of politics, culture, communication, media, race, diaspora and postcolonialism made him one of the great public intellectuals of the late twentieth century. For much of his career, Hall was better known outside the Caribbean than in the region. He made his mark most notably in the United Kingdom as head of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and at the Open University, where his popular lecture series was broadcast on BBC2. His influence expanded from the late 1980s onwards as the field of cultural studies gained traction in universities worldwide. Hall’s middle-class upbringing in colonial Jamaica and his subsequent experience of immigrant life in the United Kingdom afforded him a unique perspective that informed his groundbreaking work on the complex power dynamics of race, class and empire. This accessible, lively biography provides glimpses into Hall’s formative Jamaican years and includes segments from his hitherto unpublished early writing. Annie Paul gives us an engaging introduction to a globally renowned Caribbean intellectual.

        Peter D. Hopkins is a freelance voiceover Actor who grew up in Jamaica, and currently lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife.

        Annie Paul is head of the Publications Section at the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies, the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. She is a founding editor of the journal Small Axe and the original Caribbean Review of Books and editor-in-chief of PREE, a digital platform of Caribbean writing.
