Richard Hart, one of the Caribbean's foremost political thinkers and authors, passed away at his home in Bristol on December 21 aged 96.
He was born Ansell Richard Hart on August 13 1917 in Kingston, Jamaica, the youngest of four children.
His father Ansell Hart was a solicitor and renowned author. Educated in both Jamaica and Britain, it is perhaps no coincidence that a man born in the year of the Bolshevik revolution would forgo his position of privilege to become a champion of the causes of working people and human rights.
