Summary

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah’s mother Valerie was a member of the "Windrush generation" of British subjects who were invited to the UK from the Caribbean in the 1950s.

He talks to Afua about how his own generation sought to forge a new sense of British identity - and how those political and cultural values brought him into conflict with not just the British Establishment - but his own beloved Mum.
