Just finished The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi.

Essential reading for understanding the history of the Palestinian struggle.

Recently finished listening to Zeinab Badawi’s book on Audible - a great overview for anyone interested in African history.

Just watched Blitz by Steve McQueen. An incredible film, highlighting the Black presence before and during the Second World War and the experiences of working class people in East London. Highly recommend!

An incredible morning looking at the archives of Stafford Scott. Community activism before, during and after the Broadwater Farm uprising in 1985.
