This vivid book tells that remarkable story. Kieran Connell, an historian of Irish and German heritage who grew up in Balsall Heath, inner-city Birmingham, takes readers into multicultural communities across Britain at key moments in their development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJourneying far beyond London, \u003cem\u003eMulticultural Britain\u003c\/em\u003e explores the messy contradictions of the country’s transition into today’s diverse society. It reveals the ordinary people who have forged Britain’s multiculturalism; skewers public leaders, from Enoch Powell to Harold Wilson to Margaret Thatcher, who have too often weaponised race for their own political ends; and shines a light on the shifting nature of British racism, revealing its enduring day-to-day impact on ethnic-minority groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween postcolonial reckonings and immigration anxieties, how people live together in Brexit Britain remains an urgent question for our time. Connell’s fresh, thought-provoking book unveils British multiculturalism not as a problematic idea, but as a rich and complex lived reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57400186831230,"sku":"NW9781911723516","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781911723516.jpg?v=1778631611","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/multicultural-britain","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
