![]() | Immigrant Labor and Racial Conflict in Industrial Societies: The French and British Experience, 1945-1975: The French and British Experience, 1945-1975 Subjects: Alien labor -- France; Alien labor -- Great Britain; France -- Race relations; Great Britain -- Race relations; France -- Emigration and immigration; Great Britain -- Emigration and immigration; In order to describe how the elites in two political systems grappled with the potentially explosive influx of foreign labor, Gary Freeman analyzes and compares the ways in which the British and the French governments responded to immigration and racial conflict over a thirty-year period during the post-war era. In addition to comparing the policy records of the two countries, the author focuses on the process by which political and social phenomena become defined as public problems and how alternative responses to these problems are generated. His broader aim is to provide a standpoint from which to evaluate the more general problem-solving capability of the political systems under consideration. |
