'I can do nothing but take my hat off to Dean Atta for speaking out, saying what he believed, and doing it so effectively and powerfully that countless people heard it who would never normally have done so. Poetry is a powerful tool, and 'I am Nobody's Nigger' is a perfect example of when that tool shows its full strength.' Huffington Post

'Dean Atta is man on a mission - whose powerful reflections on race, identity and sexuality make him one of the most outspoken social commentators of his musical generation' Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

'The Gil Scott Heron of his generation.' Charlie Dark, DJ

'Righteous and forceful.' Peter Tatchell

'One of the UK's finest poets.' Time Out, London

'These poems are personal and beautiful. Some are painful to read--including Atta's experience of racism and homophobia.' Socialist Worker

'Atta's writing is about seeking change. It is this which makes it so powerful ... Capturing moments with strong rhythms and rhymes, Atta's words jump from the page until you can almost hear the poet performing them at spoken word gigs around London ... A broad reaching collection, at once tender and real, I Am Nobody's Nigger burns with searing honesty which is not easy to forget.' Booktrust

'I Am Nobody's Nigger is a clever, diverse, and deeply interesting collection of poems from a poet with a knowledgeable view of the world, seen direct from the streets of London and recounted honestly.' God is in the TV
