Ta-Nehisi Coates' UK debut and the launch of his best-selling book, The Message - in conversation with Zena Agha.

***

The Message is clear-eyed, honest reportage from one of the most influential American writers on race and politics. It is also a self-reckoning with regards to Palestine.

Published in the US last October, the book was an instant best-seller and a media event, catalysing mainstream conversation about Black-Palestinian solidarity as well as US complicity in apartheid and genocide in the lead-up to the presidential elections.

As it launches in the UK, we will hear from Coates about his journey, his writing process and the maelstrom of the book’s reception. He will be in conversation with the brilliant Zena Agha.
