Histórico
Hansib Publications Limited was founded in 1970 by Arif Ali (born 1935 in Guyana) as publishers specialising in books covering African, Afro-Caribbean, Indo-Caribbean, Asian and other ethnic minority issues and subjects. In addition to books Hansib Publications also produces magazines, journals and newspapers, including Root, a current affairs journal.
In 1957 Arif Ali emmigrated to London from Guyana (British Guyana). He opened a grocery in 137 Tottenham Lane and began publishing informally, reproducing articles from various Caribbean newspapers in The Westindian. In 1971 the first issue of the Westindian Digest was published. In 1973 Westindian World was acquired. Later Hansib ran the Caribbean Times, the Asian Times and the African Times. Premises for a time in Matthias Road, Stoke Newington, Hackney. In 1981 the firm was based at Tower House, 139/149 Fonthill Road, Islington. Later registered office at 233 Regents Park Road, Finchley, Barnet (as of 2011) with distribution and enquiries office at Hertford, Hertfordshire.
