#013 - Tomiwa Owolade: Why America's Culture War Should Not Be Britain's
Tomiwa Owolade is a writer and critic and is the author of the book This Is Not America. Tom has written for The Times, The Sunday Times, The Spectator, The Financial Times, The Evening Standard, and the Literary Review. He is also a contributing writer at The New Statesman and has made appearances on GB News and BBC Radio 4.
In this episode we talk about why Britain should not import America's racial politics, the complexities of identity, why social class is a bigger determinant of life outcomes in Britain than race is, and the impact of secularisation and religion on British national life.
Tom and I had some fun together at times in this episode and I'm sure you will find him to a be a positive voice.
Enjoy the show, class mates.
