Hello and welcome to Under the Skin from Loominary. This week I spoke with Professor

Kihindi Andrews. Kahindi is an academic activist and author, the professor of

Black Studies at Birmingham City University, the director of the Center for

Critical Social Research, founder of the

Organization of Black Unity, and co-chair of the Black Studies Association.

Curiously, though, he's a white man from Austria.

No, not really. He's an English man who is, as you can tell from his curriculum for

Eté, black. Now, me and Kinde, I have done a few things together now. I think he's a really brilliant and important voice in the conversation about I would say equality and politics way beyond the subject of race which is obviously

what's quite rightly dominating the news agenda and a lot of social media space but what I like about

Kihi Andrews work is that he is going he sees it on a sort of a global level

and you can't get into a discourse about race without pretty soon hitting

up against economics, capitalism and the, I mean I've got to say it, the profundity of change required for there to be meaningful

and progress isn't even the word. I'm afraid to say the word is revolution. So he's an amazing person to

talk to because he does all of this in a very kind of, you know, like given the seriousness of the subject I think he does an incredible job of communicating

humorously and openly so if you ain't read any of his stuff you should back to black retailing black radicalism for the 21st century and resisting racism.

That's all one, that's a long title. I mean I prefer back to black, keep it simple, race inequality and the black

supplementary school movement. So like he's um yeah read some of his stuff man

he's fantastic and you know look at well this podcast will give you a

bit of an intro so here's some comments from our last episode with Kasha Urbaniac

snap rock and pop go I listen to out rusty rockets on out here lumery every day if I can.

What a wealth of incredible insight and perspective from us vulnerable humans.

Anyway, I just want to tweet because of the beautiful reflection delivered by
