In fact, immigrants and refugees have come to Britain throughout its recorded history. In this book, first published in 1988, Colin Holmes looks at this period in depth and asks: who were the newcomers and why were they coming? What were the distinctive features of their economic and social lives in Britain? How did British society respond to their presence? The resulting book is a major historical survey of immigration which synthesises and evaluates existing work and weaves in new material on a wide range of immigrant minorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138938491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138938496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Colin Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47423919816959,"sku":"9781138938496","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40ce0ba6-558c-4169-9059-81505015307a.jpg?v=1761528998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-bulls-island-colin-holmes-9781138938496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
