A landmark work of political journalism and social commentary, Immigration and Race in British Politics presents a sharp and unflinching analysis of how immigration became one of the most contentious fault lines in British political life. Paul Foot, one of Britain's most celebrated radical journalists, chronicles the rise of racially charged political rhetoric in the postwar era, arguing that mainstream politicians cynically exploited public anxieties about immigration for electoral gain. The book details the role of figures across the political spectrum — from local councillors to senior cabinet ministers — in stoking racial tension rather than confronting the structural inequalities faced by Britain's immigrant communities. Incisive and passionately argued, this Penguin Special remains a vital and sobering document of institutional racism and political cowardice in mid-twentieth-century Britain.
