    Paperback Description:

    Beyond black, beyond white, beyond straight, beyond gay, so I say. Love your eyes over these words of truth. You will be uplifted.—Benjamin Zephaniah

    Go Dean Atta. Speak the truth. Tweet the truth. Upload it. Let it ring out over the digital domain and strike at the heart of the offline wireless and disconnected.—Lemn Sissay

    To know that we share something unspeakable
    To know that as high as we rise we are not seen as equal
    To know that racism is institutional thinking
    And that ’nigger’ is the last word you heard before a lynching.

    Revolutionary, reflective, and romantic, I Am Nobody’s Nigger is the powerful debut collection by one of the United Kingdom’s finest emerging poets.
