As part of our 10 year anniversary celebrations for the British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding, we asked previously shortlisted and winning authors to revisit their respective books and reflect on the key themes of their work. The subsequent essays were compiled into Furthermore..., an anthology of work that features Patrick Wright FBA, Sujit Sivasundaram, and Kapka Kassabova, among other talented writers.
Download the full anthology or take a look at the individual essays from the publication, below.
To be ‘global’, in the Prize’s terms, may sometimes involve creating an overview of patterns that have unfolded across large geographical areas, but we have learned that it can also be achieved through more localised or personal investigations in which wider dynamics are addressed from the ground.
