Description During World War Two, people arrived in Britain from all over the world as troops, war-workers, nurses, refugees, exiles, and prisoners-of-war. Mixing It tells the extraordinary tales of their contributions to the British war effort, and uncovers the forgotten history of the role WWII played in the making of multiethnic Britain.
Publisher DescriptionDuring the Second World War, people arrived in Britain from all over the world as troops, war-workers, nurses, refugees, exiles, and prisoners-of-war-chiefly from Europe, America, and the British Empire. Between 1939 and 1945, the population in Britain became more diverse than it had ever been before.Mixing It uses diaries, letters and interviews to bring this history to life. Among the stories featured is that of 'Johnny' Pohe from
New Zealand - the first Maori pilot to serve in the RAF. Pohe was captured after he had to ditch his plane and took part in what was subsequently called the 'Great Escape'. He was one of fifty recaptured
escapees who were murdered by the Gestapo.When the war ended, awareness of the diversity of Britain's wartime population was lost and has played little part in public memories of the war. Mixing It recovers this forgotten history. It illuminates the place of the Second World War in the making of multinational, multiethnic Britain and resonates with current debates on immigration.
