Stephen Sackur talks to the former Booker fiction prize winner Bernardine Evaristo.

Is cultural power and influence moving away from those who have historically held it? Stephen Sackur talks to the former Booker fiction prize winner Bernardine Evaristo.

In any society the voices that are listened to, the stories that are shared, say much about who is deemed to belong, who is excluded. On that basis Britain is changing. Cultural power and influence may still disproportionately sit with those of us who are white and male but the achievements of the author Bernardine Evaristo point to a changing landscape. She is the first black woman to win the prestigious Booker fiction prize. Awards are gratifying symbols, but how deep does the cultural change go?
