Bangla Brighton

Voices from the Bangladeshi Community

....this country is now my country. Still my soul lives in an unsatisfied world, missing the star-filled night sky of my homeland and those who were close to me.

Poetic and passionate, lively and lyrical, Bangla Brighton is a series of moving true life accounts of relocation to the South coast from Brighton and Hove's Bangladeshi community. At times heartbreaking, but always full of hope - these human stories offer the reader a glimpse into an unknown world, right on our doorstep. As intriguing as it is informative, Bangla Brighton gives the lesser heard voices in our community a chance to be heard.

I have visited many, many areas, many places - but finally Brighton gave me a little bit of my village life. In this sense it is my village.
