"A Postcolonial People" is a lively, critical survey of
contemporary South Asian Britain that fills a conspicuous gap in
the literature. This specially commissioned book combines
conceptually innovative analysis with empirically rich studies to
map out the diversity of the British Asian way of life. The
migration and settlement of South Asians in large numbers in
Britain is examined in the context of the postcolonial condition,
in which boundaries between the West and Rest, centre and
periphery, home and abroad are increasingly blurred. The
contributors provide both fresh insights and vital information on
the Asian British experience in its socio-economic, historical and
cultural dimensions. The topics covered include: identity, the
transformation of urban space, policing, healthcare, electoral
politics, music, British Asian theatre and cinema.
