- Summary:
- In the summer of 2001 racial tensions between Muslims and whites erupted in The Bradford Riots. Made In Bradford compiles a series of transcripts, from interviews M Y Alam did with British Pakistani men and paints a vivid picture of everyday life that reads almost as a counter-narrative to the prevailing direction of current debates. Here, men talk about issues such as forced marriage, drugs and criminality, employment, racism, political representation, the fallout from the London bombings, faith and freedom, along with the notion of home and belonging.
- Notes:
- "The contents of this book began life as interviews with Bradfordian men of Pakistani Muslim heritage ... [taking] part in a twenty-one month qualitative social research project, conducted in Bradford and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation."--P. 13.
