In this episode, Njambi challenges preconceptions of her homeland and people, with a darkly comedic lesson on the Kenyan customs and traditions obliterated by colonialism. She also examines the links between capitalism and racism, the image of Britain in Kenya, and ponders the true meaning of ‘commonwealth’ as the coronation dust settles. Originally from Kenya but living in London with her white husband and British children for over a decade, Njambi McGrath finds herself quite literally in bed with her coloniser! In this series she compares her grandmother’s life under imperialist Britain, with the rise of Nazism and fascism, to her own political climate... with Nazism, and fascism once again on the rise.
