Comments:

From where did the immigrants come? Where did they settle down? Do we over-simplify and generalize when discussing post-war immigrants?

"Race in Britain is an increasingly complex issue, at both national and local level. Debate about the experiences of different racial groups has tended to speak of the 'ethnic minorities' as a whole or, at best, of 'black' and 'Asian' experiences."
