Routledge Politics of Integration: Law, Race, Literature Post-War Britain France

This scholarly examination compares how Britain and France have addressed integration of post-war ethnic minorities through law, race, and literature. Despite legal and political commitments following the Holocaust, both nations continue to govern minorities within frameworks of law and race. The work offers comparative readings of British Asian and Franco-Maghrebian literatures to explore why two democracies with distinct political cultures and philosophies of integration have declared their efforts toward ethnic minorities a failure. The book analyses the enduring complexities of minority governance and integration policy across divergent national contexts, providing critical insight into how legal structures and racial categories shape integration discourse in contemporary Europe.
