Description: "It's 1977, the day of the Queen's Silver Jubilee, when a photographer captures a moment forever, a festive street party with bunting and Union Jacks fluttering in the breeze, and right in the centre of the frame, a small Asian boy staring intensely at the camera. The photo becomes iconic, a symbol of everything that is great about Britain. But the harmonious image conceals a very different reality. Amid the party food and the platform shoes, the pop music and the punk, there are tensions in Cherry Garden. As the street party begins, those tensions threaten to erupt"--Inside cover.
