Abstract

The British Nationality Act 1948 conferred citizenship on Commonwealth subjects, granting them the right to settle in Britain. Hundreds of thousands of New Commonwealth migrants made use of the Act. Almost immediately, opponents began criticizing the health impacts of immigration, focusing on diseases like syphilis and gonorrhoea. More than any other migrant group, Black British men from the Caribbean became implicated in debates over venereal disease. This article explores how health workers and journalists used health data in ways that reinforced racial stereotypes, fed white prejudices and presented Black men as the most significant sexual health threat in postwar Britain.

战后英国的移民、种族主义与性健康

《1948年英国国籍法》授予英联邦国民公民身份，授予他们在英国定居的权利。成千上万的新联邦移民利用了该法案。反对者几乎立即开始批评移民对健康的影响，重点是梅毒和淋病等疾病。与其他移民群体相比，来自加勒比海的英国黑人男性更容易卷入有关性病的争论。这篇文章探讨了卫生工作者和记者如何以强化种族刻板印象、助长白人偏见的方式使用卫生数据，并将黑人男性描绘成战后英国最重大的性健康威胁。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
