==Early life and education==
Gus John was born in the village of Concord in Grenada, Eastern Caribbean, to parents who were peasant farmers.〔 At the age of 12 he won a scholarship to attend secondary school at the prestigious Presentation Boys College in St George's, the island's capital.〔〔(Author's biography ), ''Time to Tell''.〕 When he was aged 17 he joined a seminary in Trinidad,〔〔("Gus John addresses Lib-Dems’ Race Equality Task Force" ), Gus talks, Speeches.〕 where he spent two years as a theology student.〔Gus John, ("Intercultural Dialogue and Mutual Respect between Europe and Islam – The challenge for Education". )〕
At the age of 19 he went to England, transferring to the Theology programme at Oxford University.〔 He became Chair of the Education Subcommittee of the Oxford Committee for Racial Integration (OCRI), and recalls: "OCRI as it was called then was run by a woman who became a veteran in the anti-racist movement, the late Ann Dummett and her husband the late Professor Michael Dummett. As I engaged in the middle 1960s with the English schooling system and with academia at Oxford University, where I was a member of the African and Caribbean Students Society, I soon became convinced that Britain faced two momentous challenges. One was to determine who and what it was and what its place in global politics was as it tried to remake itself after two devastating world wars, with only two decades separating them. The second and closely related challenge was to determine how it would deal with the legacy of Empire."〔
Having been a Dominican friar from 1964 to 1967, John split with the order because of the church's links with South Africa.〔Fran Abrams, (“This is Gus John; they say he's not anti-racist enough” ), ''The Independent'', 21 July 1996.〕 In the late 1960s he took employment as a gravedigger by day while working by night in an inner-city youth club.〔
