This has only resulted in the extreme issues of inequality and inequity that we have seen throughout history and will continue to see if change is not made where needed.
Akala’s writing style is very fitting, as he introduces these complex historical events in a way that contextualises them and makes the reader think about their own position in society, and how that impacts themselves and those around them.
4.5 stars; would definitely recommend for its important reflection on racism and classism and their prominence in British society and the lasting impact of the British empire.

Nonetheless I am in agreement with Akalas views and enjoyed hearing from him about a range of black global experience.
