| Abstract
|
:
|
"In this timely book, James Hampshire explores the politics of immigration in postwar Britain and reveals how fears about welfare scrounging, public health and miscegenation influenced government policy. Locating immigration policy-making within a wider context of demographic governance - the state's management of the population - Hampshire argues that racial ideas saturated debates about immigration and its impact on British society. He shows how the British government appealed to an idea of 'belonging' in order to validate what was, at core, a racialized policy designed to obstruct colonial immigration."--BOOK JACKET.
