Hazel Carby’s Imperial Intimacies shortlisted for the Al-Rodhan prize from the British Academy

This wide-ranging and diverse shortlist demonstrates the power of non-fiction, and of the humanities and social sciences, to examine the critical issues of our time through a global lens…As we live through extraordinary times, writing such as this helps us to understand the complexities and wonders of our world.
