Tides of Change - Snapshots of 1993-94 - Mayar Akash

Tides of Change takes the reader back more than two decades, to a time when the activities of the far right political parties were active in the Bethnal Green area of London. It looks at the challenges which faced the communities living in the area at that time and how they coped with the intimidation and outright racism which manifested itself on the very streets where they lived. From the late 80's, all through the 90's and to the present day, Tides of Change is a record of one man's involvement in the demonstrations which defined the time and contributed to the defeat of hatred and the lack of inclusion and acceptance that was prevalent. Told in stories of the times and from the photographs taken by the author, Tides of Change is a moving account of how a community came together to beat the haters and ultimately remove them from the streets.
