Rapper, poet, political activist and now author, Akala, popped into his local Waterstones in Notting Hill to share some of his favourite books. As you might hope for from a man with such a wide-ranging cultural life his selections took in everything from psychiatric analysis to Nobel Prize-winning fiction by way of a science fiction classic. Enjoy.

Natives is a great read! If you haven't already I recommend purchasing one ASAP! Real insight into how British history and empire have shaped the society we live in today! As well as, future predictions for the changing global political powers on the rise.

Akala is such a gent. Just finished reading his book Natives, really enjoyed it and it’s so well written. Akala communicates complex issues in a manner that’s convincing and accessible. I’d highly recommend reading his book. I’m definitely going to pick up the books he’s recommended in this clip. Not read any sci-if before, a bit like Akala, up until a couple of years ago I wasn’t really into fiction, but now I love it.

Kingslee James 'Saying "mankind" is sexist' Daley. “Wer” or “Wǣpmann” was used to refer to “male human”. It survives somewhat in words like “werewolf”, which literally means “man wolf”. Women at the time were referred to as “Wif” or “Wīfmann“, meaning “female human”. The latter evolved into the word “woman”, but retained its original meaning. The word “wif”eventually evolved into “wife”. The word ‘men’, meaning “to think” or “to have a cognitive mind”, was gender neutral and connected to “man”, which meant “the thinker”. So we can see how “man” originally referred to all humans. Mankind was gender neutral. Akala is smart, but as you can see is orientated to automatically take up arms against the conventional or perceived 'opressed', even when there's nothing to it.

I like him amd what he represents but so many times he just blabs off the topic using intelligent choice of words to sound more clever i remember a speech and he just never said what the his point was just stated loads of facts and then moved on to the next topic
