- Akala, David Olusoga
Writer, rapper and poet Akala in conversation with David Olusoga about his new book, Natives, which recounts how race and class have shaped his life.
From the first time he was stopped and searched as a child, to the day he realised his mother was white, to his first encounters with racist teachers – race and class have shaped Akala’s life and outlook. He now 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.
