Descripción
Sumario:'Contagious Communities' casts new light on a period only now attracting significant historical interest. It draws attention to the importance - but also the limitations - of medical knowledge, approaches and professionals in mediating post-war British responses to race, ethnicity, and the emergence of new and distinctive ethnic communities. By presenting a wealth of newly available or previously ignored archival evidence, it interrogates and re-balances the political history of Britain's response to New Commonwealth immigration.
