Such an influence can be easily identified in the fictional writings of some of our finest and most celebrated chroniclers of multi-racial London life in examples such as Zadie Smith, Caleb Azuma Nelson, Courtia Newland and Ryan Calais Cameron, in the trailblazing political figure of Dianne Abbott, in the resilience of Baroness Doreen Lawrence and Justice 4 Grenfell campaigner Yvette Williams, in the creative and political imaginations of filmmakers such as Steve McQueen, the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson, in the writings and social commentary of London’s most vital Black public intellectuals in Akala, Gary Young, the music of Soul II Soul, Brixton rapper Dave, Little Simz and Black cultural icons such Ian Wright, who use their profiles to address racial inequality within London.
