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,
