Is Masculinity Innit? The experience of young, urban black men in the U.K. w/ Faisal Sebunya

  • Summary

  • The U.K. plays a special role in the lives of Africans and Africans in the diaspora. Priti Patel, a British politician serving as the Home Secretary of the United Kingdom was quoted as saying: “Every year, just like these people I have represented, thousands from African countries try to enter the UK for a multitude of reasons.”, showing the indelible mark etched in the lives of Africans by the UK in its practical sense. Having colonised a significant portion of the continent, taken part in the slave trade and attracted a large number of black people to the metropole or “the motherland”, the U.K. and its influence on blackness is noteworthy. 


    In this episode, we are taking a look at how black masculinity manifests itself in the lives of second-generation immigrants in London. We have invited Faisal Sebunya, a London resident, Ugandan-British, second-generation immigrant and a civil engineer. He gives a history on what it is that brought his family to the UK, how his parents navigated work and society; and much more. Stay tuned. This podcast is brought to you by Engage Africa Media.
