Colonial Immigrants in a British City

<p><em>Colonial Immigrants in a British City</em> (1979) analyses the relationship between West Indian and Asian immigrants and the class structure of a British city. Based on a four-year research project in the Handsworth area of Birmingham the book is a study of race and community relations – political social economic and personal – in a major centre of immigrant settlement. It considers the relationship between housing class and class formations and consciousness in other sectors of allocation such as employment and education. It includes a consideration of the changing political climate on race relations between 1950 and 1976.</p>
