Description
Adam by Gboyega Odubanjo is a powerful exploration of the disappearance of a young Black boy in London, 2001. Drawing on the Genesis myth and Yoruba culture, the author examines the devastating impact on Black lives and the society as a whole. The book builds a narrative from the discovery of the remains in the River Thames, weaving together themes of identity, culture, and the search for meaning. With unflinching honesty, Odubanjo sheds light on the complex issues surrounding Black lives in Britain. Through Adam, Odubanjo offers a thought-provoking and deeply personal work of poetry that challenges readers to confront the harsh realities of racism and inequality.
