Today, tensions over immigration and Europe have brought some of the attitudes to race that we might have hoped had gone the way of 1970s rainbow jumpers ferociously to the forefront of British life. As one of the first generation of mixed-race Brits, Ahmed is perfectly placed to explore the conversation around race and identity today. Join him for an hour of personal anecdotes, political analysis, and passionate belief in the ultimate good of this country.
In conversation with journalist, critic and broadcaster Alex Clark
