Migrant Britain

Histories and Historiographies: Essays in Honour of Colin Holmes
Herausgeber: Craig-Norton, Jennifer; Kushner, Tony; Hoffmann, Christhard

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Britain has largely been in denial of its migrant past along with an assumption of tolerance towards minorities. Colin Holmes was the first and most important historian to challenge this view. This book celebrates his achievements, but explores the state of migrant historiography (including responses to migrants) in the twenty first century.
