Subject: immigrant autobiographies
I am a student of English (language, literature, cultural studies, history
etc.) at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. I am currently researching a
masters thesis on 'ethnic identity' in multiethnic/ multicultural Britain.
For that purpose I am hoping to use autobiographies written by people living
in Britain with an immigrant background. I am hoping to find stories of the
'ordinary-people-writing-about-their-ordinary-lives' type, as opposed to
ones written by postcolonial theorists and other very academic people. I
know of collections of such stories in other countries, but haven't found
this type of material in Britain yet though I do have some ideas that I'll
be checking out in the next few days (New Beacon Books, Black Cultural
Archives in Brixton). Do any of you know of such stories? I don't need an
awful lot of them, a handful would probably do. How do I get access to
them(if that is possible at all)?
Please send any information you have about the above to one of the following
two e-mail addresses:

I will be in London for my research until July 26th, so I'd appreciate some
fairly quick replies. But I welcome any input, even after that date.
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Anne-Birgitte Holm
