A book about Pakistan and the Pakistani community in England – from the perspective of an Englishman who has worked within and got to know the community over several decades. This book is designed to destroy preconceptions and prejudices and increase your knowledge of a community many English people think they know but don’t. It also contains a journal of a fascinating trip to Pakistan undertaken one summer some years ago.
Harry Cottam is a solicitor who has spent a quarter of a century working in an area of Birmingham with a large population, many of whom have Pakistani heritage. He has made many friends from within this community and has become familiar with its culture, way of life and ways of doing business. He is shocked by the ignorance and casual racism of many English people towards this community and believes this arises from ignorance rather than malice. Hence this book. He also incorporates within it his journal of a trip he and friends of British Pakistani heritage made to Pakistan, along with a record of his observations and experiences.
