 "Anita and Me" is a novel by Meera Syal that was first published in 1996. The novel is set in the 1960s in the fictional mining village of Tollington, which is located in the West Midlands region of England. The novel explores themes of identity, race, class, and cultural differences.
In terms of global context, the novel reflects the experiences of many people from South Asian communities who migrated to the United Kingdom in the mid-20th century.
