Beyond Belonging
East and Southeast Asian Presence, Identity and Activism in the UK
How do we build real solidarity in times of crisis?
Written by grassroots organisers from besea.n, Britain’s East and South East Asian Network, this book centres the voices of East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) communities in the UK and explores what collective organising can look like beyond isolated anti-racism efforts.
Through personal stories and interviews, it examines identity, representation, migration, activism, and the barriers that have made community-building difficult. By connecting past and present struggles, it calls for stronger, shared action and a more inclusive conversation about solidarity in Britain today.
Written for activists, students, and anyone interested in community organising and anti-racism, this book offers a powerful call to move forward together.
