Discover the untold story of Britain’s refugee camps in ‘UNSETTLED: Refugee Camps and the Making of Multicultural Britain’. This compelling book by The Bookish Owl reveals how dozens of 20th-century British camps housed hundreds of thousands, profoundly shaping today’s multicultural society. Moving beyond the idea of camps being ‘elsewhere’, the book explores the complex intimacies and frictions between refugees, displaced Britons, and civil servants. Through vivid interviews, UNSETTLED brings to life the everyday experiences within these spaces – the births, deaths, conflicts, and triumphs. As global refugee crises persist, this vital history offers crucial insights into liberal democracy’s past and the unpredictable consequences of encampment. Essential reading for anyone interested in migration, history, and the making of modern Britain.
