- Double-weighted statement
- This is an ambitious book. It is the first to cover the unprecedented scale of migration of peoples to wartime Britain and the entire range of ethnic groups that arrived— including those from the Empire/Commonwealth, black and white Americans, and people from almost every country in Europe. It draws on a very wide range of sources to trace the history of transnational encounters, the experiences of those arriving, and official and popular responses to different groups. Through shifting the focus to multiethnic, multinational wartime Britain, it transforms the history of the home front and debates about the ‘people’s war’.
