Karim Khan grew up in Oxford, England. His grandfather migrated to Oxford in the early 1960s, and subsequent generations of the family have lived there. The transcript explores Karim’s family history, his parents and grandparents’ experiences of finding community and building a life in Oxford, as well as Karim’s own upbringing in the predominantly white, working-class neighbourhood of Littlemore.
