> > My Beautiful Laundrette / "Black Britain"


Required Reading:

In most parts of the developing world, physical survival is at stake, not citizenship. At the same time, in the midst of our First World metropolises, a so-called Fourth World congregates--the world of the displaced, the exiles, immigrants, asylum seekers, and other mobile noncitizens. In Guillermo Gomez-Pena's terms, the Fourth World is a counterspace that challenges the privilege and identity of citizens, those who have a home.
