    Roy was born in Accompong Jamaica, settled in South London after WW2. In his writing, Roy was conscious of his Caribbean-African heritage especially the tradition of rebellion and courage that was a part of the runaway slaves, maroon history and settlement in his home town, Accompong.

    His novels Black Albino and No Black Sparrows written in the 1950s recreate this history in Jamaica and we like them!

    About Black Albino:

    The birth of an albino son to Tomaso, leader of the maroons, divides the community of escaped African slaves living in the mountains of Jamaica.
