Abstract
The traditional stereotype of immigrant labour in this period revolves around issues of undercutting, job displacement and strike‐breaking. However, detailed case studies suggest that the stereotype needs careful qualification. By looking at East Europeans in a Cheshire salt‐works, at new material on Jewish immigration and at Catholic Lithuanians in the Lanarkshire coal industry, a complex series of influences on immigrant/host relations can be shown. It suggests that local political and social culture, as well as the differences in the structure of the immigrant population, are crucial elements in determining these relationships.
