British ‘Others’
Thursday 6.45pm 28th
April 2016
Join ordinary people and
specially selected speakers in what should be a fun, passionate and informative
night on identity and ‘Britishness’.
How does it feel to be perceived as the violent, terrorist, un-British
'other', to be a minority in a majority situation, to have no sense of
belonging, to be voiceless, marginalised and invisible?
Dr Hoque will examine these complex issues through the lives and
multifaceted identities of six British-born third-generation Bangladeshis from
East London. Do they see themselves as Bangladeshi, British, Muslim, Londoners,
none of these or a fusion of them all? Their stories are powerful, clear
and unsettling, charting their journeys from invisibility to visibility
and from the periphery to the core of British social life. With a sense of
displacement, alienation and non-belonging, we gain a better understanding and
insight into the sociocultural worlds that many of our young people are living
in.
