Linton Kwesi Johnson, escritor y activista político que interpretaba sus poemas a ritmo de dub y reggae, fue una voz orgullosa para los británicos-jamaicanos en medio de las tensiones provocadas por los disturbios raciales, el thatcherismo y la recesión de los años ochenta. Nacido en Chapelton, en la Jamaica rural, Johnson se trasladó a Londres en 1963 y dirigió talleres de poesía para los Panteras Negras cuando aún estaba en la escuela, antes de estudiar sociología en la Universidad Goldsmiths de Londres y escribir artículos para el periódico socialista Race Today y críticas musicales para las revistas NME y Melody Maker. Su álbum de debut, Dread Beat An' Blood (1978), captó los problemas del centro de la ciudad y su tema All Wi Doin' Is Defending se convirtió en una apasionada llamada a la movilización. Tras los disturbios de Brixton de 1981, su trabajo en los álbumes Forces Of Victory (1979), Bass Culture (1980) y Making History (1983) adquirió una gran relevancia y fuerza. Su uso de la jerga jamaicana y el ritmo de sus palabras le dieron un estilo distintivo y, aunque sus discos se hicieron menos frecuentes después de Tings An' Times (1991), pasó a influir en una nueva generación de estrellas del hip hop con conciencia social y se convirtió en el primer poeta negro publicado junto a John Betjeman y John Keats en la serie Penguin Modern Classics.
