On many forms in the UK where ethnicity needs to be ticked, the space for East and South East Asia is 'Chinese or Any Other Asian'. This represents a sweeping together of a vastly varied heritage and experience. East and South East Asian people have lived and worked in the UK for centuries, fought for the British Army in both world wars, have influenced culture through food, writing, music and art in a multitude of ways. And yet this influence is often overlooked. Anna Sulan Masing explores what it means to be East and South East Asian in Britain today, and celebrates the multiple elements and varied experiences that make up ESEA identity.
