The Coffee House Tour: Addressing Xenophobia, Islamophobia, and Colonial Legacies
Register: https://unrealcityaudio.co.uk/tours/coffeehouse-tour2/
Immerse yourself in the rich history of London’s coffeehouses with bestselling historian Dr. Matthew Green. Explore how the ‘bitter Muhammedan gruel’—the subject of a deeply rooted racist narrative—transformed the intellectual, social, and cultural landscape of 17th and 18th-century London. This seemingly ordinary beverage not only challenged racial and gender stereotypes but also reshaped power dynamics, leaving a profound impact—both positive and catastrophic—on the contemporary world.
