Description
Britain's transformation into a multicultural society is a story that spans several decades. This book explores how ordinary people contributed to this change, as well as the impact of racism and its ongoing effects.
From the end of World War II to the present day, Britain has become increasingly diverse. Historian Kieran Connell delves into the complexities of multiculturalism, examining the role of public leaders in shaping attitudes towards ethnic minority groups.
