| Description: |
Unique and arresting photographic history of South Asians in Britain (namely in Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford, Glasgow and London's East End ), from 1858 to the present Includes rich and rarely seen images from archives in Britain, India and the US. Published in partnership with the British Library and Getty Images. With a preface by Razia Iqbal. |
| Synopsis: |
South Asians have lived in Britain for centuries. From the first trade conducted between the two nations along the Silk Route to the adoption of Chicken Tikka Masala as a national dish, the ongoing mutual exchange of cultures continues to flourish today. Asian Britain vividly charts Britain's process of coming to terms with the historic realities of its culturally diverse past and present. This extraordinary photographic history draws upon culture, film, music, the military, business, the suffragist movement and the different phases of historic settlement of Asian migrants from the subcontinent, the Caribbean and East Africa. Personalities from the arts, business, politics and sport appear alongside the pioneers - the first female law student at Oxford, the first Indian RAF pilots, the first Asian MP - and of equal significance are the experiences and history of the ordinary immigrants. |
