Meet the authors shortlisted for the 2021 British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding at this special online event organised in partnership with the London Review Bookshop. Awarded annually since 2013, the British Academy’s £25,000 non-fiction book prize recognises work that searches for truth and reason in difficult places and shines a light on the connections and divisions that shape cultural identity worldwide.
