We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Fatima Manji

Ep 46: Whiteness and the 'Orient' - An award-winning broadcaster and journalist who anchors the UK's Channel 4 News, Fatima Manji is best known for breaking stories with a global impact. She's also recognised as one of the first UK news anchors to wear a headscarf. She’s the author of the recently released “Hidden Heritage: Rediscovering Britain’s lost love of the Orient” and joins me to talk whiteness in journalism, belonging and Britishness and why she thinks the Kew Gardens mosque needs to be resurrected.
