The British Migrant Experience 1700-2000

"The British Migrant Experience 1700-2000" is a wide-ranging collection of first-person accounts, together with introductory essays, capturing varied aspects of the British migrant story from the 18th-20th centuries. Building on recent interest in the social, psychological and historical aspects of population movement within and into mainland Britain, this anthology contributes to the debate on British national identities and introduces readers to aspects of imperial and colonial history, the history of autobiography and self-narration, and post colonial literature.
