Akala (2018 Event)
Race and class have shaped the world of MOBO award-winning hip hop artist, poet and political commentator Akala. In Natives, his searing polemic on race in the UK, he considers his own experiences in both childhood and as an adult, and connects them to the social, political and historical context that have led us to where we are now. He discusses these issues and more in this event recorded live at the 2018 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
