Our names are so mundane we barely notice them. But they contain a multitude of stories of belonging and heritage, be that a legacy of colonialism or persecution, the desire to fit in, or cultural inheritance from ones parents. Journalist, academic and ex-TV producer Sheela Banerjees fascinating first book is a blend of history, memoir and politics and tells the history of multicultural Britain.</p><p>In <em>Whats in a Name?</em> Sheela tells stories of friends and family through their names and takes us from the fight against racism in Britain to an escape from Nigeria, from Jamaica in the 60s to pre-Revolutionary Russia. Each name contains centuries of history and acts as a portal to other worlds.</p>...9781529367621_Hodder & Stoughtonlibro_electonico_fee61ff8-93c7-33ba-9c07-1034d4f70ee0_9781529367621;9781529367621_9781529367621Sheela BanerjeeInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/hachetteuk-epub-a7ed3a24-b74d-499e-9f56-218dc0044754.epub2023-08-03T00:00:00+00:00Hodder & Stoughton
