18. Entering Another Country > If one enters an unfamiliar area and cannot identify him/herself with people of his/her own culture, one feels as though they are in a foreign land. > “Instead of choosing whiteness by assimilation, the British were presented with daily opportunities to make different kinds of moral choices about the kind of people they thought they were.”(p. 208) > A Black British author, Mike Phillips, gives his account of his realization of the feeling of being at home in England after travelling around the country. (p. 208)
19. > Phillips describes how he encounters people of different origins when he travels through London, and this is a normal trait of London. > He moves on to tour Scotland, and also confesses how he fears that being a Black man can lead to being attacked or killed because of the colour of his skin. (p. 208) > He next visits Newcastle, where he realises that he had not spotted a black or Asian person for half an hour. He felt that he had stepped into a foreign land.
20. > Phillips described how no one made him feel uncomfortable despite the fact that he was distinct. The only discomfort he felt was with unfamiliarity with a place that he thought he knew. > Ware concludes: “instead of searching for notions of national distinctiveness among people defined by the anachronism of race and its surrogate, colour, it would be far more productive and healthy to open out the definition of Englishness to include the views of relative newcomers who have realized that England is where they feel most at home.” (p. 211)
