Title: This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrants Manifesto

Author: Suketu Mehta

Narrator: Vikas Adam

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:50:20

Language: English

Release date: 08-22-19

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Science, Political Ideologies

Summary:

Penguin presents the audio edition of This Land is Our Land by Suketu Mehta, read by Vikas Adam.

An impassioned defence of global immigration from the acclaimed author of Maximum City.

Drawing on his familys own experience emigrating from India to Britain and America, and years of reporting around the world, Suketu Mehta subjects the worldwide anti-immigrant backlash to withering scrutiny. The West, he argues, is being destroyed not by immigrants but by the fear of immigrants. He juxtaposes the phony narratives of populist ideologues with the ordinary heroism of labourers, nannies and others, from Dubai to New York, and explains why more people are on the move today than ever before. As civil strife and climate change reshape large parts of the planet, it is little surprise that borders have become so porous.

This Land is Our Land also stresses the destructive legacies of colonialism and global inequality on large swathes of the world. When todays immigrants are asked, Why are you here?, they can justly respond, We are here because you were there. And now that they are here, as Mehta demonstrates, immigrants bring great benefits, enabling countries and communities to flourish.

Impassioned, rigorous, and richly stocked with memorable stories and characters, This Land Is Our Land is a timely and necessary intervention, and literary polemic of the highest order.

**BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK**

'A modern masterpiece' Guardian

Uncovering the mystery of her mothers disappearance as a child: Laura Cumming, prize-winning author and art critic, takes a closer look at her family story.

In the autumn of 1929, a small child was kidnapped from a Lincolnshire beach. Five agonising days went by before she was found in a nearby village. The child remembered nothing of these events and nobody ever spoke of them at home. It was another fifty years before she even learned of the kidnap.

The girl became an artist and had a daughter, art writer Laura Cumming. Cumming grew up enthralled by her mothers strange tales of life in a seaside hamlet of the 1930s, and of the secrets and lies perpetuated by a whole community. So many puzzles remained to be solved. Cumming began with a few criss-crossing lives in this fraction of English coast the postman, the grocer, the elusive baker but soon her search spread right out across the globe as she discovered just how many lives were affected by what happened that day on the beach including her own.

On Chapel Sands is a book of mystery and memoir. Two narratives run through it: the mothers childhood tale; and Cummings own pursuit of the truth. Humble objects light up the story: a pie dish, a carved box, an old Vicks jar. Letters, tickets, recipe books, even the particular slant of a copperplate hand give vital clues. And pictures of all kinds, from paintings to photographs, open up like doors to the truth. Above all, Cumming discovers how to look more closely at the family album with its curious gaps and missing persons finding crucial answers, captured in plain sight at the click of a shutter.

'A moving, many-sided human story of great depth and tenderness, and a revelation of how art enriches life' Sunday Times
