ABSTRACT
The mobile cultures of the post-colonial landscape have been expressed here as a story of Landscape, Race and Memory which materializes ecologies of citizenship. The culturally determined categories of race continue to haunt the notion of authentic belonging and citizenship. Stasis in notions of race, ethnicity, culture, landscape, identity or nature is a myth, and thus a cultural approach to citizenship and cultural geographies of identity should be based on accepting and understanding our society's mobile cultures of citizenship. Visual cultures of landscape are situated within the South Asian as critical modes of securing a sense of being and belonging within Britain for this group of post-colonial migrants. The aesthetics, histories and cultures of British Asian-English landscapes stretch out to Lake Nevasha, the Indian Ocean and the English lakes, and are locked into a circulatory process of transformation. Englishness in motion, or Englishness as figured through mobility, is at heart of making tangible British Asian memory-histories of their cultural experience.
