Immigration in Great Britain in the 1950s-1960s

ARRIVAL OF BLACK IMMIGRANTS IN LONDON In 1945, the first groups of Britain’s post-war Caribbean immigrants settled in London. There were an estimated 492 that were passengers on the Empire Windrush. These passengers settled in the area of Brixton which is now a black district in Britain.

FROM THE 1950S INTO THE 1960S There was a mass migration of workers from all over the English-speaking Caribbean, particularly Jamaica, who settled in Britain. These immigrants were invited to fill labour requirements: • London’s hospitals; • transportation system; • railway development.

THE RESULTS OF IMMIGRATION • The rise of racial violence • The rise of prejudice • Rioting in Birmingham, Nottingham and west London • Racial prejudice

RULES OF ENTERING BRITAIN • People from the Empire and Commonwealth had rights to enter Britain because they carried a British passport. • Under political pressure, the government legislated three times in less than a decade to make immigration for non-white people harder and harder. • Children born to white families in the remnants of Empire or the former colonies could enter Britain. Their black compatriots could not.
