Description
Lovers and Strangers: An Immigrant History of Post-war Britain
Clair Wills' fascinating new book tells the story of thousands of individuals who came to Britain in the aftermath of World War II, seeking work and a new life. Drawing on a wide range of unusual sources, Wills brings to life the diverse experiences of immigrants from Ireland, India, Poland, Malta, Cyprus, and other countries.
From lovers and dancers to scroungers and homeowners, these individuals transformed Britain in unexpected ways, often finding opportunities for success and community despite facing poverty and humiliation. This book offers a fresh perspective on post-war British history, shedding light on the complex and often surprising stories of those who shaped the country's modern identity.
