About the Author
Stuart Hall was born in Kingston, Jamaica and educated at Oxford University. A pioneering cultural theorist, campaigner, and founding editor of the New Left Review, Hall was one of the most influential and adventurous thinkers of the last half century. He was Director of the University of Birmingham's Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies from 1972, and from 1979 was Professor of Sociology at the Open University. His published work includes The Popular Arts (1964), the co-authored volume Policing the Crisis (1978), The Hard Road to Renewal: Thatcherism and the Crisis of the Left (1988), and, with Sarat Maharaj, Modernity and Difference (2001).
Review
Much more than a memoir, Familiar Stranger is a fascinating insight into how a life shapes a brilliant mind -- Andrea Levy This is a miracle of a book -- George Lamming Compelling. Stuart Hall's story is the story of an age. He was a pioneer in the struggle for racial, cultural, and political liberation. He has transformed the way we think -- Owen Jones An intellectual giant * Independent * A leading cultural theorist... a hero * Telegraph * My hero -- Diane Abbott A thinker that you cannot ignore -- David Lammy
