Young Voice

Young Voice takes the reader back more than twenty five years, to a time when the activities of the far right political parties were active in the Bethnal Green area of London. It looks at the challenges which faced the young Bangladeshi living in the area at that time and how they coped with the intimidation and outright racism which manifested itself on the very streets where they lived. From the late 70s, all through the 90s and to the present day, Young Voice is a record of young people’s involvement in the demonstrations which defined the time and contributed to the defeat of hatred and the lack of inclusion and acceptance that was prevalent. Told in stories of the times and from the photographs taken by the author, Young Voice is a moving account of how the youth challenged the status quo of its own community and took the fight to the haters and ultimately removed them from the streets.
