Jassa Ahluwalia

Jassa Ahluwalia is a British actor and author of mixed heritage — half Punjabi Sikh, half English. He has appeared in film, television and theatre, with roles that reflect the breadth of his talents and the diversity of contemporary British storytelling. He is known for his thoughtful and articulate public voice on issues of identity, race and belonging in Britain. Both Not Half is his exploration of what it means to grow up between cultures, challenging the reductive language of "half" that is so often applied to people of mixed heritage. The book is a personal and political account of navigating multiple identities in a world that often insists you choose just one, written with intelligence, warmth and the conviction that being "both" is a strength, not a compromise. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Both Not Half offers powerful listening and reading for anyone interested in identity, belonging and the experience of living between cultures in contemporary Britain.
