Abstract
that were caught between the categorisations, or racial identities that shifted geographically and temporally. Wills does flesh out the agency of immigrants well by avoiding heroisation and acknowledging negative portrayals. But, she also represents immigration as only ever a traumatic experience tainted by racism, exploitative landlords, and longing for home. She could have acknowledged some positive experiences that immigrants encountered or established during their relocation to Britain. The opening to the book is an extract from Ruth Glass, Newcomers (1960):
期刊介绍:
Immigrants & Minorities, founded in 1981, provides a major outlet for research into the history of immigration and related studies. It seeks to deal with the complex themes involved in the construction of "race" and with the broad sweep of ethnic and minority relations within a historical setting. Its coverage is international and recent issues have dealt with studies on the USA, Australia, the Middle East and the UK. The journal also supports an extensive review section.
