Sajid Javid former Conservative MP (2010 – 2024) and Cabinet minister, shares the story of his childhood with Libby Spurier.  The Colour of Home describes growing up with poverty, racism and the tension of living within two cultures – the Indo-Pakistani traditions of his parents versus the world of their new home in the UK.  Recounting run-ins with the police, trouble at school and risking estrangement from his family, Sajid talks about adversity and refusing to accept the limits seemingly imposed by his background.  It is a remarkable journey, from ‘outsider’ to the most senior roles in British government and is both a personal and a social history of race, class and aspiration in contemporary Britain.
