Lonely Londoners @JSTheatre is one of the finest adaptations of a novel I have seen. Faultless theatre (acting, writing, directing, movement). A breathless tribute to the elegance of Selvon’s writing. Congratulations @royboywilliams @e_bamgboye and all.

Looking forward to chairing @TerriTomsky's (@UofA_EFS) talk on imperial amnesia and the Guantanamo military prison complex this Wednesday at 4:15pm @PostcolonialNCL. This is sure to be a crucial talk on activism and the troubling global politics of incarceration. All welcome.
A real pleasure to engage with upper sixth/lower sixth students on Windrush-related texts @RGSGuildford @TormeadSchool. While there is much work to do re: decolonizing in general, the students were inspiring. There is hope yet for anti-imperial futures rgsg.co.uk/2023/12/08/bla…
BCA deeply mourns the loss of Professor Benjamin Zephaniah, an extraordinary poet, performer, patron, and collaborator. In honor of his enduring legacy, we pledge to sustain his mission of celebrating and safeguarding Black history and culture. buff.ly/46PVRE6

Disgusted by the Home Office's treatment of my brilliant colleague @DoselineKiguru, whose six-year old daughter has been denied a UK visa. This decision needs to be reversed immediately. Please RT and share. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…
It was a joy to be in conversation on Weds night with the remarkable Alberta Whittle and Naomi Robertson at the launch of their collaborative installation ‘Feeling Blue’ @RMGreenwich @DovecotStudios. This is what decolonizing looks like. rmg.co.uk/stories/topics…
On 5 Oct, GPI co-hosts a #YourLocalArena screening of the iconic BBC Arena film Upon Westminster Bridge about Jamaican poet Michael Smith. Plus panel talk with Linton Kwesi Johnson @ZenaEdwards @hannahlowepoet & Anthony Wall. £8/£5, 7pm @198 See: bit.ly/YLAUWB #BHM23
We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Horace Ové. Photographer, painter, writer, and pioneering filmmaker, Ové's career spanned four decades and encompassed cutting-edge drama and documentary. He worked outside of the system, showing generations of Black filmmakers…

We recently published an extract of an interview from Wasafiri 114, conducted by co-guest editor @DrSaroukhani, with Hazel V Carby. Read Carby's thoughts on belonging, categorising her book 'Imperial Intimacies' & more, in this rich conversation: buff.ly/47eLcnU
Hugely excited to announce the imminent publication of The Bloomsbury Handbook of Postcolonial Print Cultures, co-edited by Toral J. Gajarawala, Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, @jackdanielwebb and me. Out on September 7! bloomsbury.com/uk/bloomsbury-…
Delighted to receive copies of my new book! Especially grateful to @PaulEditorial & the rest of the team @ManchesterUP for all their support, @shehzilm for the stunning cover image & @clarachambara, @YonghiBonghi,@IyerNalini & Prof Rajeswari S Rajan for the generous blurbs.
It was an honour to interview the pathbreaking Hazel Carby for our @WasafiriMag issue on the Windrush scandal. The full interview, which explores imperial history, race, feminism & afropessimism (to name just a few topics) is available this month for free: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… We got them with iron bars, machetes, hand grenades, and guns, & gave the Teddy Boys such a whipping they never came back. From then on, Jamaicans were feared. Things changed but beware, now they kill you with politeness.’@WasafiriMag #windrush
