Global Migrants, Local Culture

Natives and Newcomers in Provincial England, 1841-1939

Beschreibung

Employing the first analysis of the entire population of any British town, this book examines how overseas migrants affected society and culture in South Shields near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Resituating Britain within global processes of migration and cultural change, it recasts British society pre-1940 as culturally and racially dynamic and diverse.

Rezensionen

'This book provides a valuable addition to the growing literature on migration to the UK during the height of British power.'

- A.M. Wainwright, The University of Akron

'The book calls for a new scholarly perspective with regard to migrants and reveals blank spots within the existing research on migration to Great Britain.' - H-Soz-u-Kult
