Description
The course will be a study of Britons from multi-ethnic backgrounds, who have evolved from diaspora communities into multicultural ethnicities. The strobe will be on London, a "global city" where much of the debate focuses on these transnational communities that inhabit the capital, the unique mixture of cultural assets and beliefs, and the consequent challenging inequalities. The study will include the Black community, Chinese and South Asians, and religions in the global diasporas: Jewish, Islamic and Sikh.
