Jan Carew (1920 - 2012) was a Guyana-born novelist, playwright, poet and educator whose works, diverse in form and multifaceted, make him an important intellectual of the Caribbean world. Carew found common cause with the anti-colonial and civil rights movements. As he put it, he was "completely dedicated to the world's have-nots ... I am not interested in stirring up race hatred ... but am interested in exposing it, analysing it and taking active steps to eliminate it. Moscow Is Not My Mecca is one of Carew's most controversial books: a novel based on the stories of his cousin and other students from the Caribbean and Africa who had accepted scholarships to study in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Carew also drew on his own experiences as one of the first students from the English-speaking Caribbean to receive a scholarship to the Eastern Bloc countries when he went to Czechoslovakia in the early 1950s. ' I was determined not to produce a knee-jerk anti-communist work, but to tell the truth about the rise of racism in the Soviet Union' - Jan Carew. This copy of Moscow Is Not My Mecca is in fine condition with excellent, unclipped, dust jacket and bright and clean pages and edges ( see photos).
