Global Migrants, Local Culture

Natives and Newcomers in Provincial England, 1841-1939

von Laura Tabili

Employing the first analysis of the entire population of any British town, this book examines how overseas migrants affected society and culture in South Shields near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Resituating Britain within global processes of migration and cultural change, it recasts British society pre-1940 as culturally and racially dynamic and diverse.
