Each chapter focuses on key figures or social movement including the slave Cugoano, the American anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells-Barnett, C.L.R. James, W.E.B Du Bois, former leader of the anti-colonial movement in Tanzania Julius Nyerere, Walter Rodney, the political philosophy of Rastafari, and the activist-musician Bob Marley.
