One of the most interesting challenges for British society in the period after the Second World War was the large-scale immigration of considerable numbers of non-white immigrants from Britain's (former) Empire and the development of significant multicultural ethnic-minority communities. This course examines the historical background of this development, the main periods of immigration from the Empire/Commonwealth, and the position of non-white ethnic minorities in contemporary Britain. Particular attention will be paid to the crucial but contentious concepts of racism, racial discrimination, assimilation, integration and multiculturalism.
