Stella Dadzie: A Whole Heap of Mix Up

Description

Reflections from a life lived in the struggle by black British feminist and activist, Stella Dadzie. Stella Dadzie has been a key figure in the Black women’s movement in Britain since the 1970s. This unique new collection showcases her creative, personal and political writings, covering themes from her family life and early years to political activism, travel in Africa and the Caribbean, and race and racism in Britain. Featuring short stories, poems, speeches and travel writings, in addition to personal photographs and a curated selection of her artwork in a photo spread at its centre, this definitive collection presents Dadzie as she has never been seen before: raw, funny and human, both artist and activist, it offers new insights into the issues that defined a generation of black women.
