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.
