From the 18th July to the 17th of August, we are marking South Asian Heritage month at the HFL. SAHM was set up to celebrate South Asian identity and history in diaspora communities in the UK.

This display aims to explore a variety of backgrounds within diaspora communities, as far as is possible with our current physical collection. We highly recommend you check out our online reading list below, as it provides work on a variety of topics we do not currently have in the library itself.

Explore how the South Asian diaspora shaped the sound of BBC Radio, in Liam McCarthy’s book online, or how South Asians made modern Britain the country it is today through our physical display.
