1 Britain’s multicultural society is bringing a lot of interesting new ideas to the arts these days. Young black and Asian authors are writing about their lives, and their books are very popular. There are plays and films about the life of Britain’s ethnic communities and exciting music from many different cultures. Multiculturalism is making Britain a very lively place.
2 Andrea Levy is typical of these authors: she comes from Britain and all her books are set in London, but her parents are from the Caribbean. Her prize-winning novel, Small Island, is about people like her parents and their lives in Britain in the 1940s and 60s. In the book she writes about the experiences of Jamaican soldiers in World War 2 and their lives when they move to England in 1948.
3 Parminder Nagra is the star of the popular football film. Bend It Like Beckham. She comes from the English town. Leicester, where there is a large Asian population. In the film she acts the part of a lively girl called Jess Bhanira. Jess decides to rebel against her family and to play football. This amusing film shows the problems of young British people growing up in two cultures. These days Parminder Nagra is stalling in the American TV hospital drama, ER.
4 Apache Indian (real name: Steven Kapur) is a world-famous musician from England’s second city, Birmingham. His home city has large Jamaican and Indian populations and his music brings together reggae from the West Indies, bhangra from India and hip-hop. The words of his songs are about trying to understand his identity in a multicultural world. His most famous song, Boom-Shack-A-Lack, is in five Hollywood films and more than fifty TV advertisements.
