A powerful, contemporary critique by Akala, a BAFTA and MOBO award-winning artist and political commentator, also recognized as a Sunday Times bestseller. His narrative begins with his earliest experiences of being stopped and searched as a child and continues through key moments like realizing his mother was white and facing racism from educators. Through his personal journey, Akala broadens his lens to explore the intricate social, historical, and political elements that shape today's world. His book tackles a range of crucial topics, including the police, education, identity, politics, sexual objectification, and the rise of the far right. "Natives" directly addresses Britain's reluctance to fully engage with the complex issues of race and class, rooted deeply in the remnants of its imperial history.
