Feb 25, 2021

Susheila Nasta, a Professor of Contemporary and Modern Literatures and Sam Selvon's literary executor, joins Howard Jeffery, Chairman of the Pepperpot Centre, to explore 'The Lonely Londoners.' They discuss the poignant experiences of Caribbean migrants in 1950s London, touching on themes of nostalgia, identity, and community resilience. The conversation dives into the struggles of securing employment amidst discrimination, the establishment of supportive spaces like the Pepperpot Centre, and the rich cultural narratives that foster solidarity among the West Indian community.
