About this book

“Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire” is a thought-provoking work by British musician Akala, published in 2019. The book serves as both a memoir and a critical examination of race and class throughout various historical eras, including modern-day Britain.

Akala shares his upbringing in Camden, London, his encounters with racial prejudice, and his educational journey. The book also scrutinizes historical instances of racism, such as Japanese imperialism, colonial-era British Hong Kong, the Arab slave trade, and the Atlantic slave trade. The book has been lauded for its profound exploration of the remnants of Britain’s racialized empire.

Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, published in 2018, sets Akala's own upbringing in Kentish Town against the longer history of British empire, and argues that race in Britain cannot be read apart from class. It sold well enough to reach the Sunday Times chart and was cited for the Jhalak Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
