Colin Edwards Collection
The Freedom
Archives is
honored to contain hundreds of programs on many topics produced by
Colin
Edwards. Colin Edwards (1924–1994) was an outstanding internationalist
journalist and writer who created a huge body of work. Colin came from
Wales
and was a fervent Welsh nationalist. Following service in WW II, he became a combat correspondent in Malaya, then in
Burma, Indochina
and Korea. Later, as an independent journalist with Canadian Broadcasting, the BBC and Pacifica Radio among others. He
did important on-the-scene interviews and documentaries on
anti-imperialist national
liberation struggles in the Middle East, especially Palestine, on Asia,
particularly Vietnam, and on many other struggles, including the civil
rights, Black
Power, and student antiwar movements in the US. Edwards also worked
closely with Moshe Menuhin—a prominent Jewish anti-Zionist (and the
father of
world-famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin).
The interviews with Moshe Menuhin are in the Archives collection, as is
all of the audio work of Colin Edwards, with the exception of
interviews and
writings on Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, which reside in the National
Library of
Wales. The collection was
entrusted to the Freedom Archives by Mary Edwards, his widow, who lives
in
Oakland.
