Description

Scripting Empire: Broadcasting, the BBC, and the Black Atlantic explores the literary and cultural history of West Indian and West African writing at the BBC. Part of the Oxford Mid-Century Studies Series, this work rethinks the mid-century decades of shrinking British sovereignty, late modernism, and mass migration to the metropole. Between the 1930s and the 1960s, a notable group of Black Atlantic artists and intellectuals worked as producers, editors, and freelancers at the corporation. This book examines the contributions of figures such as Una Marson, Langston Hughes, Louise Bennett, Wole Soyinka, Derek Walcott, Amos Tutuola, V.S. Naipaul, Sam Selvon, Cyprian Ekwensi, Stuart Hall, and C.L.R. James. It provides a deep look into how these creators shaped broadcasting during a transformative era in history.
