I AM NOT A TOURIST (HB)

Though a citizen of the UK, Daisy J. Hung is regularly mistaken for a tourist or asked where she’s really from. These experiences serve as a reminder that, no matter how she moves through the world, she is often seen as an outsider. Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of ‘Chinese’ identity.
