- Using extensive published, manuscript and visual sources, Contagious Communities explores the intersections of immigration and race in post-war Britain. It draws on oral history interviews with key medical professionals and individual service users, and over a decade of research in archives across the UK and USA, including TNA (using FOI), NLW, Manchester Library and Infirmary, US National Archives and Records Administration (including ‘pre-catalogued’ files), and McGovern Historical Collections. It is cited by historians, anthropologists, epidemiologists, public health researchers, sociologists, policy makers, among others interested in the NHS, and the experiences of ethnic minority populations in the UK.
