Description
Audrey Osler's family story spans over four centuries, tracing their migration across different directions. From war, study, and economic crisis to love and child abduction, each generation's journey is intertwined with the legacy of the British Empire. The assumption that belonging to Britain means being white is a misconception that has been perpetuated for too long. Osler's family history reveals the complexities of identity and belonging, challenging this narrative and offering a more nuanced understanding of the British migration story. By exploring her own mixed-heritage background and that of her ancestors, Osler sheds light on the experiences of people of colour in Britain, highlighting the need to reframe our understanding of the country's past and its ongoing impact on contemporary society.
