He lived among Kingston's stiflingly respectable brown middle class, who, in their habits and ambitions, measured themselves against the white elite. As colonial rule was challenged, things began to change in Kingston and across the world. In 1951 a Rhodes scholarship took Hall across the Atlantic to Oxford University, where he met young Jamaicans from all walks of life, as well as writers and thinkers from across the Caribbean, including V. S. Naipaul and George Lamming. While at Oxford he met Raymond Williams, Charles Taylor, and other leading intellectuals, with whom he helped found the intellectual and political movement known as the New Left. With the emotional aftershock of colonialism still pulsing through him, Hall faced a new struggle: that of building a home, a life, and an identity in a postwar England so rife with racism that it could barely recognize his humanity. With great insight, compassion, and wit, Hall tells the story of his early life, taking readers on a journey through the sights, smells, and streets of 1930s Kingston while reflecting on the thorny politics of 1950s and 1960s Britain. 600 10 $a Hall, Stuart, $d 1932-2014. 650 0 $a Sociologists $z Jamaica $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sociologists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jamaicans $z Great Britain $v Biography. 700 1 $a Schwarz, Bill, $d 1951- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hall, Stuart, 1932-2014, author. $t Familiar stranger $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2017 $z 9780822372936 800 1 $a Hall, Stuart, $d 1932-2014. $t Works. $k Selections. $f 2016. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014155.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210304011814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBF9DAF4939111E7A673E95E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
