Title: Racial Violence in Britain in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Description: Members of every immigrant group in British history have endured attacks upon either their person or their property. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the main victims have included the Irish; the Germans during the First World War; Blacks in 1919 and 1958; Jews in 1911, 1917 and 1947; and Asians since 1945. Despite the regularity of racial attacks, this book represents a major review of the history of racial violence in Britain.

The contributors are from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and include leading authorities in the study of immigration and race, as well as younger scholars. For this revised edition, two new chapters, by Edward Pilkington and Ben Bowling, have been added, covering the period since 1950.
