I want to recommend the great website to you. Every day an eminent writer, thinker, commentator, politician, academic chooses five books on their specialist subject. It’s very interesting to read and you should definately check it out if you’re interested in Literature. Today the Anglo-Nigerian historian shares his top five books on race and slavery:
The UN Commission on Human Rights meets this week and David Olusoga chooses five books on race and slavery including a book of American photography. ‘There are repeated pictures of lynchings – those “strange fruit” images of black men hanging from trees. They are truly shocking partly because you keep thinking, as you get into the 1930s, that surely we’re past that, yet you turn a page and there is another photo of a lynching.’
