Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines evidence about people of colour in Victorian Britain. Census data shows that 0.59% of the population of England and Wales was born outside of Europe in 1911. However, census data omits ethnicity. Evidence analysed in this article shows that people of colour did migrate to and settle in Victorian Britain and were able to integrate in British society. Some of the textual evidence presented provides clear evidence of social cohesion whereas other shows continued orientalisation and ‘othering’ of people of colour but does provide implicit suggestions of social cohesion such as exogamy even through its disdainful language.
期刊介绍：
Immigrants & Minorities, founded in 1981, provides a major outlet for research into the history of immigration and related studies. It seeks to deal with the complex themes involved in the construction of "race" and with the broad sweep of ethnic and minority relations within a historical setting. Its coverage is international and recent issues have dealt with studies on the USA, Australia, the Middle East and the UK. The journal also supports an extensive review section.
