內容簡介
One of only four girls from the 160 children in her primary school to pass the eleven plus, Sylvia Vetta was the first in her family to enjoy higher education and got to enjoy that post-WWII wonder: upward mobility.
Battling racism in Smethwick in the West Midlands during the most racist election in British history changed her life. The slogan bandied by the supporters of the Conservative candidate was, 'If you want a n***er for a neighbour, Vote Labour.'
By chance she met Indian-born Atam Vetta. Being less than 21 years of age, her boss could legally inform her parents of her young man and his racial background without Sylvia knowing of it. Sylvia and Atam married anyway and 55 years later, they're still married.
When Sylvia married Atam, mixed relationships were rare and viewed with hostility, not just in the UK. Sylvia's story embraces a revolutionary change in attitudes in the UK. Marriages and partnerships like hers are no longer rare and it is predicted that by 2075, the majority of the population will be of mixed ancestry.
She was plunged into a challenging new reality. Through Atam, she learned about glass ceilings for ethnic minority Brits. Atam's research in quantitative genetics confronted institutional and individual racism with the knowledge that discrimination had been justified by scientific racism. Atam set about helping to expose those lies.
Nine months in the USA opened her eyes to the probability that she was more disadvantaged being a woman than being married to a man of colour. Changing careers, she entered into a world where women were mostly excluded: business. Sylvia set about changing that, creating a vibrant and successful business career.
Peppered with facts and research, Sylvia's life showcases the personal within the political, the successes and setbacks of forging a fairer, more tolerant and better Britain. Part of a unique demographic that challenges traditions, Sylvia's life epitomises its clashes, its frustration, and its opportunities.
Now on her third career as a writer, Sylvia explores what we have in common, while being honest about the challenges. The ultimate prize is an enhanced understanding that comes from 'walking in someone else's shoes' and the creativity that comes from crossing cultures and allowing cream to rise.
Food of Love is a poignant account of changes to our society from the mostly untold perspective of a white woman married to a man of colour. Recipes relishing the difference flow through the narrative. The recipes at the end of chapters reflect the diversity diet in our diet that rises with the diversity in the population.
With food comes love and with love comes hope.
