Racism, heterophobia and the structural impact of South Asian doctors on the development of British General Practice (c. 1948 - c. 1983)'

established: the provision of primary care to those who could least afford it.

World War II: Colonies and Colonials
WWII was won by the UK. Right? Wrong! Without the manifold contributions by and from the colonies, Britain could not have won. My new book explores their contributions and political activism in the colonies and in Britain during the war.
