29/30 Joy White - Terraformed: Young Black Lives In The Inner City

Part memoir, part sociology. About Forest Gate / Newham. Some good chapters on Grime and accounts of the author visiting the new hipster businesses that are opening up. Hearbreaking chapter on the fatal stabbing of her nephew.

There's a great conversation with her and Kano on YouTube, recorded this summer, that I watched the other day. Made me want to read her book. Defo will now :)

Roll on 2021's books.
