England is mine
Padamsee, Nicolas2025
Book
In an East London borough, two second-generation immigrants search for a sense of identity and belonging amid a wave of online radicalisation and extremism. Sixth-former David survives through music and multiplayer video games. Attacked by his classmates for the controversial on-stage comments of his musical idol Karl Williams, he retreats into an online world of alt-right ideologies and toxic masculinity. Hassan, too, is alienated from his friends, who drink, smoke weed and mock his volunteer work at the local mosque. As the young men struggle to find a path through a hostile-seeming world, their fates become tragically, catastrophically intertwined.
