Linton Kwesi Johnson (born 1952) is a Jamaican-born British dub poet, musician, and activist whose work fuses reggae rhythms with political verse. A leading figure in Black British culture, he used poetry as a weapon against racism and inequality, capturing the struggles of the Caribbean diaspora in Britain. Johnson’s landmark works, such as Dread Beat an’ Blood and Sonny’s Lettah, addressed police brutality and social injustice.
