Items related to Asian Britain: A Photographic History
South Asians have influenced 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 sports 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.
