| Summary | Between 1850 and 1970 British society was transformed by large numbers of newcomers who arrived from Europe, South Asia, the Caribbean and Africa. This course explores the responses to immigration taking a long-range chronological view and sets out to address the basic question: was Britain a tolerant country? The first part of the course is devoted to the nineteenth-century arrivals culminating in an assessment of the introduction of legislation to restrict immigration in 1905 and 1914. The second section charts the reaction to the numerous groups that settled in Britain after 1914, and the gradual evolution of a multi-ethnic society. Particular attention will be paid to the issues of citizenship, nationality and the politics of race. |
