Summary

Food, fashion, music and the arts have all been changed irrevocably by the migrations into and around Britain since the 1950s. Yet huge and influential areas of both private and public Britain refuse to acknowledge or accept the changes. This book examines why people must learn from each other.

Who Do We Think We Are? by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

This work concentrates on British Blacks and Asians who have a shared history both as children of the ex-empire and as participants in the post-war re-building of Britain. Part of the purpose of this work is to reveal hidden lives to the rest of society. It also weaves the views of non-white Britons into the major debates of our time and challenges assumptions that are made about lifestyles and practices of minority groups. It looks at progress, modernity and tradition. Key themes to be explored through a female perspective include family, religion, politics, culture, sexuality, race and gender and economic status. The aim is to reflect and analyze the changes and the enduring values within the communities and to describe their reactions to the political, social and economic landscape of Britain.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writes a weekly column in The Independent as well as writing for The Guardian, Observer and New Statesman. She broadcasts regularly on Radio 4 and The World Service.
