Sajid Javid: The Colour of Home, Gebunden

Klappentext

"Run, Paki, run."

The words ricocheted off the walls of the Rochdale underpass that connected Sajid Javid's home and primary school. Even as a five-year-old boy, Sajid had learned that 70s Britain could be a cruel place for those perceived as outsiders.

In this tender, but powerful memoir, Sajid Javid shares his story of a childhood marked by struggles; walking a tightrope between two cultures and raised in poverty. From his father's journey from Punjab and the devastation of Partition, to the cold streets of Rochdale and the market stalls of Bristol, the book charts a remarkable rise through adversity to the heart of British public life.

Told with honesty, heart and humour, The Colour of Home is an invitation to every 'outsider' to keep going and dream big.
