Commonwealth and consensus -- The war within, 1968--1970 -- Naming the crisis -- postcolonial Britain.Enoch Powell's explosive rhetoric against black immigration and anti-discrimination law transformed the terrain of British race politics and cast a long shadow over British society. Using extensive archival research, Camilla Schofield offers a radical reappraisal of Powell's political career and insists that his historical significance is inseparable from the political generation he sought to represent. Enoch Powell and the Making of Postcolonial Britain follows Powell's trajectory from an officer in the British Raj to the centre of British politics and, finally, to his turn to Ulster Unionism. She argues that Powell and the mass movement against 'New Commonwealth' immigration that he inspired shed light on Britain's war generation, popular understandings of the welfare state and the significance of memories of war and empire in the making of postcolonial Britain. Through Powell, Schofield illuminates the complex relationship between British social democracy, racism and the politics of imperial decline in Britain.Enoch Powell & the Making of Postcolonial BritainImperialismGovernment policyGreat BritainHistory20th centuryDecolonizationGreat BritainColoniesHistory20th centuryPoliticiansGreat BritainBiographyGreat BritainPolitics and government1945-1964Great BritainPolitics and government1964-1979ImperialismGovernment policyHistoryDecolonizationColoniesHistoryPoliticians941.085Schofield Camilla1978-1642823UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910809873603321Enoch Powell and the making of postcolonial Britain3987721UNINA
