Abstract
The story of the politics of immigration from the nineteenth century onwards told in the previous chapter has shown us that immigration and race were contested issues long before the arrival of large numbers of black colonial immigrants from 1945. We have seen that the response of political institutions to the arrival of Irish, Jewish and black immigrants was complex and not uniform. The response to Irish migrants, despite a degree of opposition and some violent confrontation was markedly different from the attempts to exclude and control Jewish and black migrants. There was also a more limited political mobilisation in defence of the interests of these groups.
