Gary Andrew Younge FAcSS (born January 1969) is a British journalist, author and broadcaster. He is editor-at-large for The Guardian newspaper and writes a monthly column for The Nation, "Beneath the Radar". Younge grew up in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, where he was born. He is of Barbadian extraction. In 1984, aged 15, he briefly joined the Young Socialists, the youth section of the Workers Revolutionary Party, but left a year later after harassment from other party members, including allegedly being accused of working for MI5 and claims that he supported Fidel Castro only because of his ethnicity. At the age of 17 Younge went to teach English in a United Nations Eritrean refugee school in Sudan with the educational charity Project Trust. In the late 1980s he attended Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, where he studied French and Russian, and was elected Vice President (Welfare) of the Student Association, a paid sabbatical post he held for a year. In his final year at university he was awarded a bursary from The Guardian to study journalism at City University, and after a short internship at Yorkshire Television he joined The Guardian in 1993, and has since reported from all over Europe, Africa, the US and the Caribbean. His book No Place Like Home, in which he retraced the route of the civil rights Freedom Riders, was published in 1999 and was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award.
