Two Britains

An Immigrant's Perspective On A Divided Britain.

Amara, a British-Nigerian woman living in the UK, is accustomed to walking a tightrope of identity, never fully claimed by either of her worlds. But when rising tensions around immigration and race shake her quiet life in the UK, Amara is forced to confront the beliefs she's built her life around.

In Two Britains, Amara takes us through her journey of identity, doubt, and rediscovery, guided by the voices of her community. Their lived experiences are intimate, complex and sometimes uncomfortable. They are contradictory stories of love, loss, pride, and doubt from those living on the margins of British identity.

As Amara listens, questions, and learns, she begins to see that the answers aren't simple. That sometimes, the most radical thing you can do is feel deeply, hold space for contradiction, and find your truth in the middle.

Two Britains by Ladun Alabi is perfect for readers who enjoy books like The Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla, Brit(ish) by Afua Hirsh and White Teeth by Zadie Smith.
