MIR Meets: Tomiwa Owolade

Host Andrew Xu sits down with Tomiwa Owolade, the author of This is Not America: Why Black Lives in Britain Matter. They discuss the ways in which discourse surrounding race relations in the US is often inaccurately transposed onto that of the UK, and how this often leads to an overly reductionist view of the situation.
