Too Black Too Strong is Benjamin Zephaniah's third collection from
Bloodaxe. It addresses the struggles of black Britain more forcefully
than all his previous books. With poems like 'Chant of a Homesick Nigga'
and 'Kill Them Before Ramadan', he shows that he's a poet who won't
stay silent, who doesn't pull any punches, writing out of a sense of
urgency and a commitment to social justice.
He opens this
hard-hitting and blackly funny book of poems with an outspoken comment
on where he's coming from, setting his poetry against the political
landscape of Britain. The book includes poems written while working with
Michael Mansfield QC and other Tooks barristers on the Stephen Lawrence
case.
