Want to use the #Jubilee weekend for something constructive? Get clued up on how this system works Kojo Karam explains the “Boomerang effect” of Empire. There is no binary between what happened “out there” to black and brown people and the insane levels of class inequality we experience in Britain. Everyone suffering economic injustice is at the mercy of the same system of privatisation, the weaponisation of the English legal system, offshoring and amnesia, among other phenomena- this is such an important book. I read Tsitsi Dangaremba’s powerful essay about the experience of growing up as a black woman and writer “while the monster of empire practised through patriarchy snaps at my heels” as a companion text If you haven’t read her novels “Nervous Conditions” and “This Mournable Body” please do so immediately, they are among my faves I love my people, look at our genius 🙌🏽 #books #bookstagram #knowyourhistory
