Summary
In this fantastic episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back our esteemed friend and guest, Prof. Hakim Adi, to discuss his eminently important new book African and Caribbean People in Britain: A History, which has just been shortlisted for the prestigious Wolfson History Prize! In this conversation, we trace this history back thousands of years and come up to the present, but you MUST get this book in order to truly appreciate the work that Prof. Adi has done here. We also get an update on the previous conversation we had with Hakim about the eminent closure of the MRes in the History of Africa and the African Diaspora program. For more updates on the legal challenges and ways to get involved, follow this link.
