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.

Kehinde's projects include the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity, and Make It Plain, the home of black radical thought. In 2017 Birmingham City University became the first university in Europe to launch an undergraduate Black Studies degree course. Current offerings are undergraduate and MA courses.
