BCA Book Club: The Rastafari Movement

Wednesday 20 July, 6.30pm – 8.30pm

Explore the power of the written word at BCA Book Club, a safe and uncensored space for conversation, discussion, and different perspectives. The selection of books on offer will reflect the material in our archives and themes that may occur in the realities of everyday life. Flex your writing muscles and drop a review on our blog, and why not become a Friend and enjoy even more of the incentives on offer at Black Cultural Archives.

After a successful launch in April, BCA Book Club returns for its bi-monthly spot to spotlight important and celebrated novels, texts, and literary works. The next meet-up will take place on Wednesday 20 July, 6.30pm – 8.30pm.

We have selected two non-fiction texts inspired by the current exhibition ‘Rastafari in Motion’. Len Garrison’s Black Youth, Rastafarianism, and the Identity Crisis in Britain and Velma Pollard’s Dread Talk: The Language of the Rastafari that both investigate the emergence and influence of the Rastafari movement in Britain with a particular focus on identity, aesthetics, and language.

£3 to book your space, and free entry for Friend Members (email: membership:@bcaheritage.org.uk). Spaces are limited and early booking is advisable.
