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. 517 3 $aEnoch Powell & the Making of Postcolonial Britain 606 $aImperialism$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDecolonization$zGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPoliticians$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1945-1964 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1964-1979 615 0$aImperialism$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aDecolonization$xColonies$xHistory 615 0$aPoliticians 676 $a941.085 700 $aSchofield$b Camilla$f1978-$01494260 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790616203321 996 $aEnoch Powell and the making of postcolonial Britain$93717692 997 $aUNINA
