As part of our Amplify Black Voices series, Caroline Whitham, Finance & Administration Worker at
Scottish PEN, shares her reading recommendations.

Gary Younge is an award-winning author, broadcaster and academic whose work serves as a great jumping-off point and deep dive into matters of race in Britain, the United States and beyond, as well as delving into a range of subjects that include knife crime, gay marriage and Brexit.

A profile of Nobel Laureate in Literature (1986) and Nigerian poet, Wole Soyinka.

Nuruddin Farah is a Somali novelist. He has also written plays both for stage and radio, as well as short stories and essays.

Scottish PEN is delighted to be supporting the #AmplifyBlackVoices campaign over the coming weeks. We will be highlighting black writers we work with, sharing the work of black writers at risk of imprisonment internationally, and reflecting on how the fight for racial justice ties with writers’ right to freedom of expression.
