	British Asian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	screenonline: Asian-British Cinema
		The latter became one of the most popular British films ever and was a far cry from the colonially-obsessed images of Asians depicted in mainstream British cinema and television in the 1980s and earlier.
		British Asian filmmaking has its roots in the 'Black' politics of the 1960s and '70s, as two distinct communities, Asians and African-Caribbeans, were melded together through their common experiences as racial minorities within the UK, often living under the threat of poverty and social exclusion.
		British notions of class and regionality are also played out, particularly a preoccupation with the post-industrial 'north' and all its incumbent stereotypes.

	FT.com / Arts & Weekend - What’s right with Asian boys
		This was ironic given the prejudices Asian families have typically had against fl communities and so, finally, I wanted to know why Asian kids were becoming alien to their own parents and adopting cultural identities that had as much to do with US hip-hop as they did with Bollywood.
		If Asian “rudeboys” were thereby overshooting their masculinity and looking for cultural props with which to do so, no wonder they’d also reached out to gangsta rap music, successfully blending the elements of machismo, misogyny and homophobia in their parent’s culture with that inherent in hip-hop.
		Just as British Asian boys have fused the misogyny of their parents’ culture with that of hip-hop culture and thereby reinforced both, so too there is a fusion of the materialism inherent in Indian culture and urban youth culture.

	Annals of General Psychiatry \| Full text \| Self-harm in British South Asian women: psychosocial correlates and ...
		The high rates of self-harm displayed by South Asian women is not a trend that is displayed by South Asian adolescents; in a study of South Asian female adolescents Bhugra et al [21] reported that rates of attempted suicide among teenagers were no different from their white counterparts.
		In the South Asian context a recurrent theme within the qualitative studies is that the survivors of suicide attempts do not feel "heard" or understood either by their families or by mental health workers [30].
		South Asians of both sexes were more likely to be discharged from emergency department without referral to other services, and be referred to their GP (either by letter or told to see), and they were less likely than Whites to be referred to specialist medical, surgical or psychiatric services.

		Although the Asian Underground (its most common name), in its current form, has only been getting noticed for the past 5 years, the seeds of the movement were sown a long time ago, in the Indian sub-continent.
		Young South Asians born and raised in the UK were facing somewhat of an identity crisis; they weren’t considered 'English' enough in their adopted land but on the other hand they would never be accepted at home in India as being truly Indian.
		The Asian Dub Foundation (calling their style 'Asian jungle-punk') is repeatedly considered one of the greatest live bands in the world.
