INTRODUCTION:

In the summer of 2013 in England, during NEWSLETTER - journalism class in Pentonville, a reporter from the Guardian Newspaper was invited to give a lecture on journalism. He spoke about a new book titled “The British Dream.” He expounded on the historical account of post-war Britain, and how Britain opened the floodgates of immigration and sent emissaries to the West Indies to bring in African Caribbeans to help rebuild the country after the Second World War. Britain lost most of its active workforce to the war. The reporter spoke about “The British Dream” and the portrayal of immigrants in a negative light by the author David Goodhart, and the ‘left-wing myths’ of post-war immigration.

“Lots of people get their knuckles rapped in David Goodhart's critical history of post-war immigration, from lazy Somalis and macho African-Caribbeans to inbreeding Pakistanis and standoffish Poles.”

At that moment in NEWSLETTER, I knew someone had to re-write “The British Dream” from the perspective of immigrants. God must raise a voice for the lazy Somalis, standoffish Poles, macho African-Caribbeans and the inbreeding Pakistanis – the British Commonwealth. But who would take up that mantle? Who would the cap fit? It got to be someone who had seen it all – an insider with an in-depth knowledge to expound on the correlation between the wealth of Britain and post-war immigration. At that moment in Pentonville, I knew there was a mission. I knew there was a call – a call from the British Commonwealth – a call from the fifteen (15) Caribbean States including Jamaica that have launched the First United Campaign for Reparations from Britain, France and Holland.

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

DARKEST HUMANITY, a Pan African Book set in Post-Colonial Britain, chronicles the lives of Immigrants in Britain after WWII, and how desperately Britain needed immigrants to rebuild the country. Set to shake the moral foundations of British society, and the very tenets of our shared humanity, DARKEST HUMANITY revisits the British Commonwealth, and how heavily Britain relied on immigrants from the Commonwealth Nations to rebuild, and the subsequent inhumanity perpetrated towards immigrants by the British.

Ghana and the UK maintained relationship ties and remained Commonwealth members after independence. Many Ghanaians on the other hand are rather unhappy about what they describe as unequal relationship even after independence. Citizens from all other Commonwealth Member States share same sentiments. Amongst these member states are the fifteen (15) Caribbean Nations including Jamaica that have launched the First United Campaign for Reparations from Britain, France and Holland. Whilst the scars of British Colonial Crimes still remain, it is rather unfortunate to note that Britain still perpetuates inhumanity towards Commonwealth citizens and the immigrant community as a whole.

DARKEST HUMANITY details the epic journey of African immigrants who became useful to the British Establishment - used and abandoned. Unable to renew his Residence Permit in 2007, Maxwell Maundy decided to pursue his master’s education as an over-stayed immigrant, after which he’d return to his native African country and live a decent life. But fate had a different itinerary in store for him.

Barely weeks after starting his Postgraduate studies in London, he was arrested on his way to school. He was served with papers authorising his removal (deportation) from the UK in few days’ time. However, something dramatic happened and he became needed and useful to the British government. As a result, his removal was cancelled. British intelligence trained and used him for a year-long undercover sting operation. Subsequently, he became a Prosecution Witness to the British Crown.

Britain's Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) used him and his Passport for year-long undercover Police operations and court case. Afterwards, he was dumped.
Unable to accept the “Heart of Darkness” thrown at him by the British; and urged on by Prime Minister Gordon Brown's speech “The Mission of Our Times - The Fair Society - Building the Fair Society of the Future,” and Prime Minister David Cameron's philosophy of "Something for Something Culture," he spent five years writing to the rank and file of British government, British Monarchy and British society at large, desperately seeking something to be done for him in return for his services to the British Crown. But the government refused and turned a deaf ear to his plight and struggles. His passport spent five years (half of it life-span) in the custody of the British government.

Bruised, and left fuming with rage, he demanded for his Passport from the government in order to return to Africa. He was told that his Passport had been lost, so he should forget about his “useless” Passport, get a travel certificate and leave. The sheer level of British hypocrisy, barbarism, wickedness and underhand dealings is beyond human comprehension. Having lived through it all, it had taken years of pain, bravery and courage to document the systemic failings, injustice and inhumanity perpetrated on a wholesale by the British Establishment towards immigrants. Maxwell Maundy has painstakingly produced a long awaited ground-breaking memoir for the British Commonwealth, Pan Africanists, Reparation Advocates and the world at large in DARKEST HUMANITY.

“Whilst in Pentonville, I saw writing on a wall in East Wing Cell 12: "They said they will kill me and make it look like I did it myself." Every time I saw the writing on the wall, it reminded me of the British…”
