Gary Younge is a British journalist and author. He writes a column for The Guardian and is currently their correspondent based in New York City. His book No Place Like Home, retracing the route of the civil rights Freedom Riders, was shortlisted for the First Book Award in 1999. Younge recently impressed Guardian readers with his observation that Fidel Castro's one-party/one-leader dictatorship is "a mix of the admirable and the imperfect," in contrast to the U.S.'s terrifying brand of fascism, which Younge has also impressively observed and commented upon.
