Accepting Multiple Differences: The Challenge of Double Accommodation

  • Chapter
Tolerance, Intolerance and Respect

Part of the book series: Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship Series ((CAL))

Abstract

In this chapter, we focus on what we take to be the most significant cultural-diversity challenge in Britain today. This is the diversity surrounding the post-immigration settlement of persons, mainly from the British Empire/Commonwealth (who enjoyed free right of entry and residence in Britain until 1962), of people marked by ‘race’ or ‘colour’. Despite this migration taking place primarily during 1950–1970, with significant family reunification going on until about the mid-1980s, these groups and their descendents are not unproblematically welcomed as co-nationals. Their acceptance in British society is still a live socio-political issue.
