M.Y. Alam continues his research in Britain into the way media, policy rhetoric, and popular discourses create inaccurate stereotypes. The Invisible Village paints a vivid picture of everyday life in modern British society with a series of insights and views of the world that may help us all make greater sense of it. Presenting stories drawn from conversations with people who talk openly and in moving terms about family, education, work, crime, migration, as well as home and belonging, this book allows us to look beyond the headlines.
