Benevolent Imperialism with Kehinde Andrews

<p>To recognise Black History month in the UK, we're joined by the academic, activist and author Professor Kehinde Andrews. Kehinde is a professor of Black Studies at Birmingham City University and has written several books, his latest being ‘The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World.’ In this episode we discuss black British identity, immigration, and how colonisation has shifted into its current form: benevolent imperialism.</p> <p>Kehinde's projects include the <a href="https://www.blackunity.org.uk/" target="_blank">Harambee Organisation of Black Unity</a>, and <a href="https://make-it-plain.org/" target="_blank">Make It Plain</a>, the home of black radical thought.
