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.

A powerful examination of ideas and images of home in Britain during a period of national decline and loss of imperial power. Its focus on the complex interrelationships of white and black women's lives and identities offers a compelling new perspective on this period. Includes a new Preface by the author.
