Description

What power does literature have in hostile environments? Can it do more than describe homes and spaces of belonging –– can it create them? In a society overwhelmed with questions of who has the right to be heard and who doesn’t, can literature strengthen threatened communities?

Black British writers Roger Robinson, Winsome Pinnock, Inua Ellams, Bridget Minamore reflect on writing and resistance with Wasafiri.
