Natives Race And Class In The Ruins Of Empire

Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of 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 takes his own experiences and widens them out to look at the social; historical and political factors that have left us where we are today.

Covering everything from the police; education and identity to politics; sexual objectification and the far right; Natives speaks directly to British denial and squeamishness when it comes to confronting issues of race and class that are at the heart of the legacy of Britain's racialised empire.
