Timeline
Colin Grant (born 1961, Hitchin, England) is a British writer of Jamaican origin, who is the author of several books, including a 2008 biography of Marcus Garvey entitled Negro with a Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey and His Dream of Mother Africa and a 2012 memoir, Bageye at the Wheel.
Grant is also a historian, Associate Fellow in the Centre for Caribbean Studies and was a BBC radio producer.
Grant grew up on a council estate in Luton, had a brother Christopher and attended St Columba's College, St Albans.
Grant joined the BBC in 1991, and has worked as a TV script editor and radio producer of arts and science programmes on Radio 4 and on the World Service.
Grant's first book was the biography Negro with a Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey and His Dream of Mother Africa (2008), described in The Jamaica Gleaner as "magisterial, meticulously researched", in The Independent on Sunday as "drawing on gargantuan research", and in The Guardian as "eminently readable".
In 2009, a two-part documentary about Caribbean Voices (1943–1958) was produced by Grant.
He has written and directed plays, including The Clinic, based on the lives of the photojournalists Tim Page and Don McCullin.
Among several radio drama-documentaries he has written and produced are African Man of Letters: The Life of Ignatius Sancho, A Fountain of Tears: The Murder of Federico Garcia Lorca, and Move Over Charlie Brown: The Rise of Boondocks.
In 2011, I & I: The Natural Mystics: Marley, Tosh, and Wailer was published, a group biography, about which Lemn Sissay said: "Colin Grant has cleverly personified the birth of a nation, the birth of a religion and the birth of reggae through the lives of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer."
This was followed in 2012 by Bageye at the Wheel, a memoir about growing up Jamaican in Luton that was shortlisted for the PEN/Ackerley Prize.
Grant's next book, a Smell of Burning, was a history of epilepsy and was chosen by The Sunday Times as a Book of the Year 2016.
Having left the BBC in 2018, Grant is now director of WritersMosaic, a division of the Royal Literary Fund.
Grant lives in Brighton, UK; he moved there to escape police harassment.
He lives there with Jo Alderson and their three children, Jasmine, Maya and Toby.
His 2019 book, Homecoming: Voices of the Windrush Generation, was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.
In 2023, his memoir I'm Black So You Don't Have To Be was published, its title described by The Guardian as "a jab at the privileges of the children of the Windrush generation who, hell-bent on being accepted by British society, have left the labour of Blackness to their parents."
