This book explores the overlooked history of racial mixing in
Britain during the course of the twentieth century, a period in
which there was considerable and influential public debate on the
meanings and implications of intimately crossing racial boundaries.
Based on research that formed the foundations of the British
television series Mixed Britannia, the authors draw on a range of
firsthand accounts and archival material to compare 'official'
accounts of racial mixing and mixedness with those told by mixed
race people, couples and families themselves. Mixed Race Britain in
The Twentieth Century shows that alongside the more familiarly
recognised experiences of social bigotry and racial prejudice there
can also be glimpsed constant threads of tolerance, acceptance,
inclusion and 'ordinariness'. It presents a more complex and
multifaceted history of mixed race Britain than is typically
assumed, one that adds to the growing picture of the longstanding
diversity and difference that is, and always has been, an ordinary
and everyday feature of British life.
