In the 1960s Britain wound up its overseas empire. What had once
covered a quarter of the world's surface was no more. This marked a
new beginning for people in those former colonies, but its impact
on those in Britain was less clear. This book addresses the effects
of the end of empire on the British public in a way never before
done, arguing that the end of empire had a profound impact on
Britons, shaping the way they saw their place in the world, their
society and the ethnic and racial boundaries of their nation. This
study contends that the radical, extra-parliamentary, left wing is
central to understanding how British public opinion was shaped on
these issues. Focussing on some of the most influential and
controversial organisations of the 1960s - the Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, the National Union of
Students and the Northern Irish Civil Rights Movement - this book
illuminates their central importance in constructing post-imperial
Britain.
