Balti Britain - Sardar Ziauddin
Sardar travels to Asian communities throughout the UK to tell the history of Asians in Britain - from the arrival of the first Indian in 1614, to the young extremists in Walthamstow mosque in 2006. Along the way he asks: are arranged marriages a good thing? He interweaves throughout an illuminating account of his own life, describing his carefree childhood in Pakistan, his family's emigration to racist 1950s Britain, and his adulthood straddling two cultures.
Do Vindaloo and Balti actually exist? Does the term 'Asian' obscure more than it conveys? And is multiculturalism an impossible dream?
