Natives
About This Book
Published in 2018, Natives combines personal narrative with social critique to examine race and class in modern Britain. Through his personal story of growing up as a poor Black child in 1980s and 1990s London, musician and author Akala paints a powerful picture of a nation that systematically denies opportunities to its Black population. The central question—what makes Britain function this way—requires examining the nation's legacy of slavery, colonial rule, and institutionalized racism.
