Produktbeskrivning
Announcing the arrival of a major new talent, an astonishing work of social history which captures Black gay Britain as never before.
''In this seminal book Okundaye gives us juicy dialogue, tears and laughter, and vivid landscapes of memory.’
MENDEZ, author of Rainbow Milk
‘A sparkling book that is all the more remarkable for being the author’s firstOkundaye is an outstanding guide to what it means to be black and gay in Britain, providing a perspective to the last four decades that is as revelatory as it is important.''
PETER FRANKOPAN, author of The Earth Transformed
''Groundbreaking . . . Okundaye’s research and interviews completely recast key moments in Black
British history . . We should be grateful that he has managed to capture a vital moment that – at so
many points – could have been lost for ever.’
LANRE BAKARE, GUARDIAN
***
In this landmark work, Jason Okundaye meets an elder generation of Black gay men and finds a spirited community full of courage, charisma and good humour, hungry to tell its past – of nightlife, resistance, political fights, loss, gossip, sex, romance and vulgarityThrough their conversations he seeks to reconcile the Black and gay narratives of Britain, narratives frequently cleaved as distinct and unrelated.
Tracing these men’s journeys and arrivals to South London through the seventies, eighties and nineties from the present day, Okundaye relays their stories with rare compassion, listening as they share intimate memories and reflect upon their livesThey endured and fought against the peak of the AIDS epidemic, built social groups and threw underground parties; they went to war with institutions (and with each other) and created meaning within a society which was often indifferent to their existence.
Revolutionary Acts renders a singular portrait of Britain from the perspective of those buffeted by the winds of marginalisation and discriminationIt is a portrait marked by resilience and self-determination, inspired by the love and beauty Black men have found in each other.
***
''Illuminating, heartbreaking, scandalous and galvanising. A crucial text not just of Black British history, but British history in itself.''
BOLU BABALOLA, author of Honey & Spice
''Okundaye has done something extraordinary and made this work of vital social history seem like a late night, electrifying conversation between good friends.''
SHON FAYE, author of The Transgender Issue
''Jason Okundaye has written a truly valuable book: a chatty, powerful and outrageous testament to a community of bold pioneersAs a document it’s important and insightful, and as a piece of storytelling it’s entertaining, lucid and compelling.''
SIMON GARFIELD, author of The End of Innocence
