2. The White Man's Burden
Kenyan-born comedian Njambi McGrath considers how language, education and religion were all weaponised by the British colonisers, obliterating their narrative.
Comedian Njambi McGrath considers how language, education and religion were all weaponised by the British colonisers, obliterating their narrative.
Originally from Kenya but living in London with her white husband and British children for over a decade, Njambi McGrath finds herself in a tricky position, quite literally in bed with the coloniser!
Exploring the past to find answers for the present, she compares her grandmother鈥檚 life under imperialist Britain, with the rise of Nazism and fascism, to her own political climate... with Nazism, and fascism once again on the rise.
With a penchant for incisive one-liners, she challenges our ideas about race and progress and takes on everything from colonialism and culture wars, to coronations and the church.
