Description: "Citizenship and Immigration in Post-war Britain examines the transformation since 1945 of the United Kingdom from a homogeneous into a multicultural society. Rejecting a dominant strain of sociological and historical inquiry emphasizing state racism, Hansen argues that politicians and civil servants were overall liberal relative to the public, to which they owed their office, and that they pursued policies that were rational for any liberal democratic politician."--Jacket.
