Defining Britishness; Channel 4′s Make Bradford British

Channel 4 have produced an interesting documentary about the concept of Britishness: Making Bradford British.  It has elements in common with my project – the interface between immigrant culture, race and national identity.  My project, of course, is looking at it from the other side: if you are British, what does your migrant heritage mean to you, and how does it influence your life and identity.

Follow the link to 4 On Demand to watch it.  And add your thoughts into the comments box below – I’ll be bringing you my write-up and thoughts on the documentary in the next couple of days, when the second episode has been broadcast.
