Chai & Chat: In Conversation With Dr Fatima Rajina

​Join us for an intimate, after-hours conversation at Almari Coffee, fuelled by our signature Karak Chai and House Rusk, as we delve into the heart of the East End’s storied past and vibrant present.

​We are honored to host Dr. Fatima Rajina for the second session in our Chai & Chat series with an exclusive discussion on her latest book, British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End. This isn’t just a book talk, it’s a deep dive into the shifting identities, cultural resilience, and the evolving landscape of Tower Hamlets. 

​In conversation with Dr. Rajina, we will explore how British Bangladeshi Muslims have navigated and shaped the East End across generations. From the nuances of clothing and language to the politics of space and belonging, this evening promises a rich exploration of history that is often overlooked.
