WITH A FOREWORD FROM BERNARDINE EVARISTO Conversations with some of
the most extraordinary Black minds of our age, discussing race,
decolonisation, systemic inequalities, and the climate crisis. In a
series of incisive and intimate encounters, Sarah Ladipo Manyika
introduces some of the most distinguished Black thinkers of our
times, including Nobel Laureates Toni Morrison and Wole Soyinka,
and civic leaders first lady Michelle Obama and Senator Cory
Booker. She searches for truth with poet Claudia Rankine and
historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr. She discusses race and gender with
South African filmmaker Xoliswa Sithole and American actor and
playwright Anna Deavere Smith. She interrogates the world around us
with pioneering publisher Margaret Busby, parliamentarian Lord
Michael Hastings and civil rights activist Pastor Evan Mawarire -
who dared to take on President Robert Mugabe and has lived to tell
the tale. We also meet the living embodiment of the many threads,
ideas and histories in this book through the profile of her
fabulous 102-year-old friend, Mrs Willard Harris. In journeys that
book-end the collection, Sarah Ladipo Manyika reflects on her own
experience of being seen as 'oyinbo' in Nigeria, African in
England, Arab in France, coloured in Southern Africa and Black in
America, while feeling the least Black and most human among her
fellow travellers, explorers all, against the sharp white relief of
the South Pole.
