- Summary:
- "Colonized by Humanity is a study of racial liberalism in London at the end of empire. It explores the projects to cultivate racial integration developed in the two decades between the arrival of the Empire Windrush and the passage of the first Race Relations Act. These were the years that integrationism took hold as a social phenomenon, its reflexes lodged deep in an English culture that took the idea of ‘tolerance’ as its watchword. It was, as this book describes it, an ambivalent culture, which sought to do away with the discriminations of race but operated through a racial vision: the white English were to lead the way in integration, reforming away the problems of racial otherness that marked their darker-skinned neighbours. Viewing integrationism through the eyes of Caribbean Londoners, Colonized by Humanity allows us to see it, as they did, with its colonial and racial dynamics up close"--Publisher's description
