摘要

1948年“帝国风号”的到来已成为现代英国移民史上一个神话般的中心象征。本文通过研究英国报纸上对“风之源”神话的描述，追溯了它的发展和影响。它展示了这种对移民的描述所引起的矛盾和似乎被忽视的矛盾，以及这种人为构建的起源故事的中心地位所引起的问题，因为这些故事并不完全符合二战以来“多种族英国不可阻挡的崛起”的简单叙述。

‘In 1997 Nobody Had Heard of Windrush’: The Rise of the ‘Windrush Narrative’ in British Newspapers

ABSTRACT The arrival of the Empire Windrush in 1948 has been cemented as a mythical central symbol for immigration in histories of modern Britain. This article traces the growth and impact of the ‘Windrush-as-origins’ myth through study of its depiction in British newspapers. It demonstrates the contradictions raised and seemingly ignored by such portrayals of migration, as well as the issues caused by the manufactured centrality of this constructed origin story for those who do not neatly fit into a simplistic narrative of the ‘irresistible rise of multi-racial Britain’ since World War II.

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.
