Bruce Lee Interview (Pierre Berton Show, 1971)
Tarintino movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (apple TV, Netflix) while reading Shannon Lee's article (In response to the depiction of her dad in Once upon a time in Hollywood movie.)
As always we will be discussing this chosen resources alongside other Anti-Racist material.
We also have a slow read of the book Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire by Akala which we will discuss early August. Natives is available to buy from bookshop.com for £8.36 here Please let us know if you need financial assistance in purchasing this book.
We also have 1 copy available to loan from our Anti-Racist Community Library (fortnightly on Saturdays in Millennium Park.)
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.
Please feel free to come along to our meeting and listen even if you have not engaged with the book as it can still be a great experience to hear people talk about what they've learned. New members are always welcome.
