Belchem, John2014
Book
'Before the Windrush' is a fascinating study that enriches our understanding of how the empire 'came home'. By drawing attention to Liverpool's mixed population in the first half of the 20th century and its approach to race relations, it provides historical context and perspective to debates about Britain's experience of empire in the 20th century.Subject: Long before the arrival of the "Windrush" after the Second World War, Liverpool was widely known for its cosmopolitan population and its docks. New arrivals expecting to be integrated into the "mother country", instead encountered discrimination and disadvantage.
