Recenzii
Provides a comprehensive coverage of immigration policy since the Second World War that offers a new and interesting angle on state actions. It is an informative and inspiring piece of writing that will greatly benefit anyone with an interest in the history and outcome of British immigration policy.
The book provides a new and revealing framework from which to discuss immigration and its effect on policy decisions.
Interesting and thought-provoking book ... an interesting journey through the changes in government and public attitude that finally resulted in the restrictive immigration policies that the United Kingdom employs today ... intellectually stimulating.
This is a rich and extremely well researched book. The author's scholarly reconstruction of the history of British policy towards foreigners has important implications not just for our understanding of the UK, but for the politics of immigration more generally ... a convincing reworking of recent British history and one of the most sophisticated accounts of the politics of immigration in print.
For its minute and exhaustive discussion of the letter and implications of changes in British nationality law from 1948 the work is a valuable resource.
Hansen has produced an immensely important book, which no historian of race and immigration will be able to ignore. The sheer range of sources from which he draws makes this an essential guide to the secondary historical and theoretical literature on immigration. More importantly, it offers a challenging and nuanced re-interpretation of British post-war policy. Many will disagree with it; but Hansen has set an extremely high standard in terms of scholarship and lucidity, which it is to be hoped his critics will emulate.
This important and well-argued book provides the best-documented account so far of the evolution of British immigration and citizenship policy since the Second World War.
