Weaving an informative travelogue with an illuminating autobiography, this account combines the history of Asians in Great Britain with the author’s personal recollections. From the arrival of the first Indian in 1614 to the young extremists in Walthamstow mosque in 2006, this portrait conveys a vivid and rich chronicle of a people’s past. The author’s own life is also explored, describing his carefree childhood in Pakistan, his family's emigration to a racist Britain in the 1950s, and his adulthood straddling two cultures. Authentic and strikingly honest, this record also considers vital questions such as Are arranged marriages a good thing? Does the term "Asian" obscure more than it conveys? Do Vindaloo and Balti actually exist? and Is multiculturalism an impossible dream?

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.

Er thematisiert die Entfremdung, die aus der kolonialen Situation resultiert, in der Schwarze und Weiße neurotisch komplementär agieren. Die Welt der Weißen wird zum unerreichbaren Maßstab für die Schwarzen. Fanon setzt sich theoretisch mit Philosophen und Psychoanalytikern auseinander, wobei Lacans Spiegelstadium und Sartres Phänomenologie des Blicks zentral sind. Später engagiert er sich in der algerischen Unabhängigkeitsbewegung und wird posthum durch sein antikolonialistisches Manifest bekannt. Seine psychoanalytische Auseinandersetzung mit Kolonialität wurde erst in den 1980er Jahren wiederentdeckt. Der Text bleibt in der Übersetzung von Eva Moldenhauer, um die Brutalität der Sprache nicht zu verschleiern. Fanon, geboren 1925 in Martinique, studierte Medizin und Philosophie und wandte sich von der Négritude-Bewegung ab, um die aktive Selbstbehauptung
