It affords a window into life in multicultural working-class settlements before and between the world wars, offering unprecedented granular detail about who such migrants were, where they came from and moved to, how their networks and institutions in Britain functioned, how much they mixed with and married local people, and whether these patterns persisted or altered as new waves of migrants joined them over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving multiple stories together, \u003ci\u003eColonized Migrants in Imperial Britain\u003c\/i\u003e tells of the opportunities seized; the networks, communities and kin that were sustained; and the strategies used to make ends meet. Often marginalised, policed and subordinated, this book shows how colonized migrants overcame formidable institutional obstacles to take part in, enrich, and build modern British society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLaura Tabili \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor Emerita of Modern European History at the University of Arizona, USA.
