Object We Were There by Lanre Bakare

£17.45

Guardian journalist Lanre Bakare makes his Hay Festival debut on Friday 30th May this year, with this vital revision of British history. We Were There is a vibrant work of non-fiction accounting for the lives that made Black Britain in the 1970s and 1980s beyond London – communities that always existed but have never been properly recognised by the official canons. It pays homage to the lives and cultural contributions of many from activists to artists. A fascinating read.
