Natives: Race And Class In The Ruins Of An Empire
From the first time he was stopped and searched as a child, to the day he realised his mum was white, to his first encounters with racist teachers - race and class have shaped Akala's life and outlook. In this unique book he examines the social, historical, and political routes of British society and its outlook on race and class.
Although issues of race and class are at the very heart of the legacy of British history, there is often a discomfort around discussing these topics and the way they manifest today. Natives does not shy away from any of these issues, instead, Akala’s incredible deep-dive into British history and society tackles them head-on.
