description: In this contentious and ground-breaking study, Randall Hansen draws on extensive archival research to provide a new account of the transformation of the UK into a multicultural society through an analysis of the evolution of immigration and citizenship policy since 1945. Against the prevailing academic orthodoxy, he argues that British immigration policy was not racist but both rational and liberal.
