I am not a tourist
Hung, Daisy J.2025
Book
It was during a trip to a museum in 2014 that Daisy Hung first recalls being incorrectly labelled as a tourist - a trend that has continued since she settled in the UK, regardless of the documents she has gathered. From assumptions that she speaks Mandarin or that she's from China, to hearing the continued use of offensive and culturally insensitive terms, such as 'Oriental' and 'Chinese whispers', she has consistently felt othered, despite being a British citizen and having only once visited Hong Kong and China.In this book, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here.
