'Important and poignant...A brilliant read' HELEN TSE MBE, author of Sweet Mandarin
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 she's 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 you're 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)
