Please come along even if you haven't had time to engage with the material. It can always be a positive experience listening to what others have learnt.

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.

New members are always welcome.
