Migration and Empire

Mehr zum Buch

The book provides a comparative analysis of three significant groups of empire migrants from the nineteenth century to the post-colonial era. It explores the motivations and experiences of UK migrants moving to white settler societies, non-white entrepreneurs and workers relocating within the empire, and immigrants arriving in the UK after 1945. Through this lens, it examines the diverse impacts of migration on both the migrants and the societies they entered, highlighting the complexities of identity and belonging within the context of empire.
