Black Arsenal: Club, Culture and Identity, Part One

This is the first instalment of a two-part episode. Arsenal Football Club is special. Its multicultural fandom reflects a changing city and a unique relationship with Black British popular culture – thanks to its decades of fielding iconic Black players on the pitch and the storied and diverse histories of its terraces. Clive Chijioke Nwonka and Matthew Harle are the co-editors of a book celebrating that sporting culture, Black Arsenal: Club, Culture and Identity. For this episode, they are joined live onstage to discuss the wider themes of the book with former professional footballer for Arsenal FC, Paul Davis, Baroness Lola Young, the academic, activist, actress, author and crossbench peer, and Clive Palmer, contributor to the ArsenalVision podcast.
