Opis

During World War Two, people arrived in Britain from all over the world as troops, war-workers, nurses, refugees, exiles, and prisoners-of-war. Mixing It tells the extraordinary tales of immigrants who contributed to the British war effort, and uncovers the forgotten history of the role WWII played in the making of multiethnic Britain.

Recenzje

Mixing It, which provides a rich and multilayered account of 'transnational mixing' (p. 12) in wartime Britain, is a welcome addition to Wendy Webster's already outstanding scholarship addressing the diverse populations of Britain during the Second World War and beyond.
