Book akala5/26/2023 In this well-researched book, Akala explores how the exceptional achievements of black people do not provide evidence that the perceived obstacles of poverty and race can be overcome by all. He shows how being in the wrong place at the wrong time is the most important factor determining the outcome for black Britons. In this book he shows what it was like to grow up in Camden as a poor, mixed raced kid in the 1980s. He is an outspoken critic on (the growing) inequality in the UK, focusing on class and race. If you want to explore the idea of meritocracy and engage with a provocative discussion on the success of the British Empire, you will certainly discover some novel insights from Akala’s debut book Natives.Īkala is a well-known figure in the UK, as hip-pop artist, social entrepreneur and public speaker.
