Informationen zum Autor JAMES HAMPSHIRE is a Lecturer in Politics at the University of Sussex, UK. Previously, he was an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford, UK. Klappentext James Hampshire explores the politics of immigration in postwar Britain and shows how ideas of race, demography and belonging intertwined to shape immigration policy.

In addition, the book develops new perspectives on the ways in which racialized ideas influenced politics and policy-making.
