David Olusoga, Black and British: A Forgotten History .

What I’ve been reading (2018-06-10)

David Olusoga, Black and British: A Forgotten History .  A very strong work about race relations on the other side of the Atlantic.  I had not known that “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” is Yoruba for “life goes on.”  The song as a whole was intended by Paul McCartney as a parable of the possibility of West Indian assimilation and it was a direct response to Enoch Powell.  Definitely recommended.
