- Description
- This publication examines migration through the lens of gender and ethnicity and the contribution this perspective makes to migration histories. It focuses on the history of migration to Britain after the second world war. The volume draws on oral narratives as well as documentary and archival research to demonstrate the role played by gender and ethnicity, both in ideas and images of migrants and in migrants' own experiences. The contributors consider a range of migrant and refugee groups who came to Britain in the twentieth century.
