Bonjour, je dois répondre à ces 6questions à l’aide du texte merci !
Conflict between cultures can be positive
Two years ago I started writing a two-part serial called Second
Generation for Channel Four. I set it in east London around the
Bengali community where I grew up. Inevitably, it has flashes
of autobiography, but perhaps more importantly, it has stories
-stories that I have seen, stories that I have heard, stories that
I know and stories that I have made up knowing they could
happen. All of these stories start with the journey that brought
our parents to this country. In my mind these families were
pioneers, coming to an unknown and often hostile land with
10 Suitcases full of hopes and dreams and very little else.
With Second Generation I wanted to write something truthful
not something representative. My reason for making this
distinction is that as second-generation Asians we have gone
past representation. Asians have changed British culture in the 35-40 years we have
15 been here. Our parents brought not only a culture but a system of values - hard work,
respect for elders, strength of the family unit, irrevocable belief in education, acute
business acumen' - that enabled them to flourish in a foreign environment and
eventually change that environment from within.
