Following the First World War and in actions that challenged
Britain's reputation as a liberal democracy, various government
departments implemented policies of mass repatriation from Britain
of populations of colonial and friendly migrants and refugees. Many
of those repatriated had played a significant part in the war
effort and had given valuable service in the combat zones and on
the home front: serving in the armed forces, in labour battalions
and employed in key wartime industries, such as munitions work, the
merchant navy and wartime construction. This book sets out to
uncover why central government decided to implement a policy of
repatriation of "friendly" peoples after the war. It also explores
the imposition of wartime and post-war legal restrictions on these
groups as part of a major shift in policy towards reducing the
settlement and limiting the employment of overseas populations in
Britain.
