´óÏó´«Ã½

With gender roles collapsing and toxic masculinity in the spotlight daily, Russell Kane, Alex Wheatle and Guvna B discuss what it means to ‘be a man’.

Best-selling author Alex Wheatle - the focus of Steve McQueen's ´óÏó´«Ã½ drama series Small Axe - explore the challenges of modern masculinity with comedian Russell Kane and rapper Guvna B - who have both written books on their experience of growing up as a male. Together they discuss the men who have shaped their lives, the values they live by, and the fictional and real role models they believe should inspire a new generation of boys.

This Big Book Weekend session, recorded live in March 2021, is chaired by Ace, one half of ´óÏó´«Ã½ 1Xtra duo Ace & Vis.
