Migrant's Heart, A
- 1996 ----- color ----- 27 min ----- vhs
- (Human Geography: People, Places and Change series, Part 8) Jatinder Verma was born in East Africa and came to England at the age of 14. His father left India sixty years ago and spent most of his working life on the railways, first in East Africa and then in the United Kingdom. Verma explains through a trip back to India how he is caught between two worlds, struggling to preserve his cultural heritage while being acculturated into the lifeways of his adopted country. His story demonstrates how migrants think about their sense of place in relation to where they have come from, generating their own specific cultures as well as contributing to the process of cultural hybridization.
