→Anglo-Indians: Doeothy Dady title
===Anglo-Indians===
* Dady, Dorothy S.
''Scattered seeds : the diaspora of the Anglo-Indians''.
London: Pagoda Press, 2007
This coffee table book contains striking, full-page photographs of modern Anglo-Indians both young and old from India and around the world. Each image is accompanied by a brief autobiographical account and a personal assessment of what it means to be an Anglo-Indian. Here you will find the faces of a few famous men and women together with those who may well consider themselves ordinary folk. These, however, include people who have experienced great poverty; who have survived tragedy and setbacks; maintained a sense of humour; always been hospitable; faced the challenges of assimilation, found contentment wherever they have settled and are full of confidence about the future. These vignettes are a wonderful tribute to the diaspora.
Dady prefaces these accounts with her own story and a brief history of the community.
A full review by Beverly Hallam, a FIBIS trustee and fellow Anglo-Indian, of this book is to be found in the FIBIS "Journal" no. 21 (Spring 2009) pp.49 & 50.
