Steve McQueen on Paul GilroyThe first book I read by Paul Gilroy was There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack. I was 19 and studying fine art at Goldsmiths, and it turned my head like nothing before. For a young person looking for answers and clues, to have that sort of book was eye-opening. It uncovered and revealed things. And then I read his masterpiece, The Black Atlantic. It was huge. His ideas about modernity and double-consciousness represented a major shift in thinking throughout the world.
