TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities), Race & Resistance Research Hub

Book Launch with Daisy J. Hung, I Am Not a Tourist

WEEK 8. Friday 5 December 2025, 1pm

Seminar Room 63, Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities

All welcome 

Join us for a special event with Daisy J. Hung as she launches her insightful new book, I Am Not a Tourist: Conversations on Being British Chinese.

From politics to popular culture, British Chinese experiences have had little visibility, remaining largely unseen and rarely discussed. I Am Not a Tourist is a fierce and moving exploration of what it means to be British Chinese today, and a rallying cry against longstanding East and Southeast Asian racism that increased exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on personal stories, extensive interviews and research, the book excavates the intricacies of identity, reveals forgotten histories, and explores the nuances of representation in a society that doesn’t always ‘see’ you.
