Description

Musa Okwonga's memoir of his time at Eton College offers a deeply personal and unflinching account of his experiences as a young Black man in one of Britain's most prestigious institutions. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Britain, this narrative explores the connections between privilege, systemic racism, and the rise of the far right.

Through his story, Okwonga sheds light on pressing social and political issues that continue to shape modern Britain today. This is both an intimate account of his time at Eton and a timely exploration of the complex relationships between class, wealth, and power.

This memoir provides a unique perspective on the experiences of Black British students in elite institutions and offers a thought-provoking examination of the ways in which social and political issues intersect.
