Effries
I was wanted for a murder I did not commit. Now it's time to tell my story. Time for you to read it. BBC radio presenter Dotun Adebayo woke up and remembered he was wanted for murder. The only way he can prove his innocence is with the help of all the previous years of his life. They come together for the first time ever in this true and twisted tale that's created a genre all of its own: NOIR-MOIR (a memoir that always looks on the DARK side of life). That's EFFRIES in a nutshell. The title is not meant to offend. EFFRIES means bullshit. You've never read anything like it. It's a memoir and yet a thriller a whodunnit and yet a confessional Idunnit and a Windrush generation history of Britain's race wars'. What's more, it's left out all the boring bits. EFFRIES is a fast dialogue and mad memories without the 'who my father is and what he does for a living' crap of old school memoirs.
Can I Have My Balls Back Please?
He is to Britain's black community what P.J. O'Rourke is to trendy liberal America. Dotun Adebayo is the outspoken columnist whose work appears in all of the main ethnic magazines and newspapers. Fall off your chair funny, with a tell it like it is or should be style, Dotun's outrageous writings about being a man in a changing world, ensure him a large mailbag every week from readers. Now for the first time, the thoughts of Britain's favourite black columnist are published in book form. All the issues surrounding being a man in today's rapidly altering world are here. From an examination of the rituals of modern courtship; to whether English, Jamaican or Nigerian men are better at oral sex; to the fears of being a father. Dotun leaves no taboo untouched in his mission to tell it straight from a brotha's mouth. His call for men to regain their manhood in the 90's covert battle of the sexes will ensure him further controversy and soaring book sales.
Sperm Bandits
Dotun Adebayo's got a problem. A BIG problem. Just one little sperm, that's all it took. One little sperm stolen from a used condom on a slow boat to Sweden. Now the CSA have presented him with an enormous bill for that one night of 'safe' sex. In this hilarious follow-up to his successful Can I Have My Balls Back Please, Dotun takes his hilarious campaign onto the streets, where he discovers that women have been stealing sperm to save themselves a trip to the sperm bank for years. Dotun also stars in Channel 4's Sperm Bandits.
West Side Stories
A compilation of stories from London writers on the cutting edge, this anthology, featuring work by Whitbread Prize Winner Patrick Neate and Baby Father author Patrick Agustus, is a weird look at the seemingly ordinary life of London over a twenty-four hour period.

By the time the syndicate get to hear about the missing consignment, D is in business – for himself – as the Front Line’s newest don. But D’s treachery will never be forgotten – or forgiven. The message filters down from the Yardie crime lords to their soldiers on the streets: Find D. Find the merchandise. And make him pay for his sins . . .

Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture
The Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture is the first comprehensive reference book to provide multidisciplinary coverage of the field of black cultural production in Britain. The publication is of particular value because despite attracting growing academic interest in recent years, this field is still often subject to critical and institutional neglect. For the purpose of the Companion, the term 'black' is used to signify African, Caribbean and South Asian ethnicities, while at the same time addressing the debates concerning notions of black Britishness and cultural identity. This single volume Companion covers seven intersecting areas of black British cultural production since 1...
