" ... a collection of memoir, fiction and poetry that explores being British from the perspective of the newly arrived ..."--Cover 4. This anthology brings together contributions by poets, playwrights, journalists and those with no previous writing experience from fifteen different countries to reflect on what Britain and British cultural identity means to them. Each piece is preceded by a useful introductory paragraph, which contextualises the personal experience of the author, and provides a link to the wider debates on refugees and identity. Importantly this book highlights the diversity of refugee experience, not simply in its involvement of different races and nationalities but in the attitudes and reactions of those involved.
