The Invisible Village - Small World, Big Society (Paperback)

In Made in Bradford, novelist and sociologist M Y Alam presented research illustrating how stereotypes of young British Pakistani men found in the media, policy rhetoric and popular discourse differed from real life. In The Invisible Village, he continues his research across West Yorkshire, one of the most culturally diverse regions in Britain, and assesses whether similar misrepresentations apply to a much broader sample of the population. The Invisible Village paints a vivid picture of everyday life in modern urban society with a series of insights and views of the world that may help us all make greater sense of it. Presenting stories drawn from conversations with people who talk openly and in moving terms about family, education, work, crime, migration, as well as home and belonging, this book allows us to look beyond the headlines. Reviews for Made in Bradford 'Honest and unsentimental, it's an impressive exercise in sociology and a terrific read. This, too, is modern England.' - Mslexia 'One of the most important books to ever come out of Bradford.' - Bradford Telegraph and Argus
