A personal account and look at the chasm of living between two
cultures where neither feels like home. Some individuals,
especially of non-white heritage are suspended in an identity limbo
- brought up British with no ties to parental culture, yet not
fitting the stereotypical appearance of an 'ethnic' Briton. Having
neither the ability to claim one culture as their own or be fully
accepted by all groups within British society, it's a no-man's land
of cultural loss. Anne East explores this chasm and loss of how it
is to feel one thing and yet be perceived as another. What are the
emotions that people feel? What are their experiences? Shame,
regret, sadness? In this exploration of her own experience as a
Brit of Malaysian Chinese heritage and those around her, she
excavates the often painful disconnect between self-identity and
social assumptions forced upon her.
