Settlers at the end of empire traces the development of racialised
migration regimes in South Africa, Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe)
and the United Kingdom from the Second World War to the end of
apartheid in 1994. While South Africa and Rhodesia, like other
settler colonies, had a long history of restricting the entry of
migrants of colour, in the 1960s under existential threat and after
abandoning formal ties with the Commonwealth they began to actively
recruit white migrants, the majority of whom were British. At the
same time, with the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act, the British
government began to implement restrictions aimed at slowing the
migration of British subjects of colour. In all three nations,
these policies were aimed at the preservation of nations imagined
as white, revealing the persistence of the racial ideologies of
empire across the era of decolonisation. -- .
