Jeffrey Boakye: The Language of Race

13th October 2018 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Last year Jeffrey Boakye’s Hold Tight was published. This brilliantly fun and insightful biography of Grime received widespread acclaim as it explored all the eclectic languages, cultures, and subcultures that helped birth the genre.

In this talk, Jeff plans to look at how language shapes our understanding of racial identities. Boakye’s gift is to address the heaviest of issues with a light, often humorous touch, leaving his audience equally enlightened and entertained.

Please note: This event was previously titled as ‘Black, Listed’
