Description: Settlers at the End of Empire by Jean Smith Bringing together histories of immigration and emigration in the era of decolonisation, Settlers at the end of empire is an essential new study highlighting the connections between the racial politics of migration in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Rhodesia in the second half of the twentieth century. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Settlers at the end of empire traces the development of racialised migration regimes in South Africa, Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe) and the United Kingdom from the Second World War to the end of apartheid in 1994. While South Africa and Rhodesia, like other settler colonies, had a long history of restricting the entry of migrants of colour, in the 1960s under existential threat and after abandoning formal ties with the Commonwealth they began to actively recruit white migrants, the majority of whom were British. At the same time, with the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act, the British government began to implement restrictions aimed at slowing the migration of British subjects of colour. In all three nations, these policies were aimed at the preservation of nations imagined as white, revealing the persistence of the racial ideologies of empire across the era of decolonisation.
