Robbie Shilliam, Johns Hopkins University
«This book is timely and incisive not only given the historical juncture at which we find ourselves in, but in its articulation of how we can respond to explicit racial violence.»

«The Fire Now is an indispensable book of our times. It is urgent, it is written with love and it embodies the politics of inclusive community-building. It is is a significant contribution to British activism and scholarship and is a must-read for anyone who is affected by racism at universities and is moved to act against it.»
