Description

A revealing, honest and often comic coming-of-age story about growing up in 1970s Britain on the boundaries of race

'Full of charm' GUARDIAN
'An account of what being British means' i
'Captures a country in transition ... You can't fail to be moved' THE TIMES

Kamal Ahmed's childhood was very 'British' in every way except for the fact that he was brown. Half English, half Sudanese, he was raised at a time when being mixed-race meant being told to go home, even when you were born just down the road.

This is his account of an upbringing of cricket and bucket-and-spade holidays, Angel Delight and the BBC - British to the core, yet always feeling foreign in the only home he had ever known.

'Ahmed grew up as a mixed-race kid in west London in the seventies, and his book charts the progress (sometimes slow and now without a few setbacks along the way) that our country has made on race issues since then. Brilliant' Rohan Silva, Evening Standard
