Britain has largely been in denial of its migrant past - it is
often suggested that the arrivals after 1945 represent a new
phenomenon and not the continuation of a much longer and deeper
trend. There is also an assumption that Britain is a tolerant
country towards minorities that distinguishes itself from the rest
of Europe and beyond. The historian who was the first and most
important to challenge this dominant view is Colin Holmes, who,
from the early 1970s onwards, provided a framework for a different
interpretation based on extensive research. This challenge came not
only through his own work but also that of a 'new school' of
students who studied under him and the creation of the journal
Immigrants and Minorities in 1982. This volume not only celebrates
this remarkable achievement, but also explores the state of migrant
historiography (including responses to migrants) in the
twenty-first century.
