Bageye at the Wheel is a novel by British author Colin Grant, giving a semi-autobiographical account of 1970's Luton through the portrayal of the lead character Clinton 'Bageye' Grant. The story itself is one of observation of a period whereby a provincial town of immigrants (a mixture of Irish, Asian and Caribbean) and their larger families congregate, yet try to assimilate into a British culture which hadn't yet been accustomed to diversity among ethnicities. Nevertheless, this indifference to a somewhat unforgiving environment is neatly summed up by the unwavering, independent 'Bageye' who refuses to blend in but rather stand out as a lynchpin for the so-called 'windrush' generation.[1]
Colin Grant is a historian and BBC producer. He is the author of Negro with a Hat, a biography of Marcus Garvey, and I&I: The Natural Mystics, a group biography of the Walters, Marley, Tosh and Livingston.[1]
