What does it mean to exist at the intersection of cultures?





Though a citizen of the UK, Daisy J. Hung is regularly mistaken for a tourist, asked where shes really from or greeted with Ni hao on the assumption she speaks Mandarin. These experiences serve as a reminder that, no matter how she moves through the world, she is often seen as an outsider.



In I Am Not a Tourist, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, of Chinese people excelling at school, or being devoid of original thought or leadership, or having authoritarian parents, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of Chinese identity.



In the wake of the upsurge of anti-Asian racism, triggered by the racialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic as the China virus, China plague and Kung flu, I Am Not a Tourist exposes the ongoing racism and inequalities that British Chinese communities face, and forms an urgent call for change.



'If youre looking to expand your understanding of the community, this book is an essential addition to your reading list LORD SONNY LEONG CBE





*Audiobook narrated by Katie Leung (Harry Potter)

Recenzijas

An important and poignant insight into the British Chinese community, often coined the silent minority. Thank you for giving us a voice and a seat at the table. A brilliant read HELEN TSE MBE, author of Sweet Mandarin



The compelling complexities of the British Chinese experience an ethnic diaspora group so often reduced to twee exotic irrelevance (as much by ourselves as anyone else) are vividly and thoroughly explored in Daisy J. Hungs seminal game-changer of a book. Lovingly researched, passionately examined and shot through with very real personal reflections DANIEL YORK LOH, actor, writer and director



This book combines deeply personal narratives with detailed policy analysis to examine what it truly means to navigate British society as an East and Southeast Asian person. A vital resource that challenges oversimplified narratives about migration, nationality and belonging in contemporary Britain PEYVAND SADEGHIAN, actor and writer



Daisy J. Hung has the great gift as a writer to not only listen but to be able to weave into her narrative the core and intent of what she has heard, with genuine honesty and truth. An important new voice in our East and Southeast Asian community in Britain DAVID YIP, actor



To have ones unique experience included in a collection like this makes the diaspora experience feel like a collective journey that for all our individuality we are a rich community of contributors to British life CHIPO CHUNG, actor and activist



In these troubling times, identity is of paramount importance. Growing up, I lacked any real nuanced reflections of people like me, of British and East Asian heritage. This book is a much-needed work LUCY SHEEN, actor, writer and filmmaker



'A personal yet pertinent document redressing what the author incisively calls the active forgetting of Chinese people in Britain. Intelligent, heartfelt, impressively accessible. VERA CHOK, actor and writer
