Description: Citizenship And Belonging : Immigration And The Politics Of Demographic Governance In Postwar Britain, Hardcover by Hampshire, James, ISBN 140391818X, ISBN-13 9781403918185, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Hampshire (politics, U. of Sussex) builds on the idea that the management and governance of demographics is integral to the modern state, a fact which that state knows either consciously or subconsciously as it establishes who it wants to enter, reproduce or live. In the case of Britain, the issue is mainly who had the right to what type of citizenship, as certain citizens of present or past colonies had the option of immigrating to Britain. Hampshire describes how policies and attitudes began to define who "belonged" and who did not, and the fears about what immigrants would do to welfare and health care. In his analysis he finds that the effects are much more complex and subtle than what most would expect, in part because racial politics complicate nearly aspect of the issue, and overarching every decision is the fear that Britain will actually become a diverse society.
