Journey through centuries and continents, and back to present-day Hackney, as authors Sheela Banerjee and Lucy Fulford share personal stories of migration to Britain, which reveal even bigger histories of empire and race. In What's in a Name? Friendship, Identity and History in Modern Multicultural Britain, Sheela – who has lived in Hackney for over 20 years – unravels the personal histories of friends and family through their names, including her own ancestors, who once lived by the banks of India’s Hooghly River. In The Exiled: Empire, Immigration and the Ugandan Asian Exodus, Lucy explores how the Ugandan Asian expulsion of the 1970s continues to impact the UK to this day.
