On 22 June 1948, as the ship's passengers disembarked, frantic preparations were already underway for 5 July, the Appointed Day when the nation's new National Health Service would first open its doors. The relationship between immigration and the NHS rapidly attained - and has enduringly retained - notable political and cultural significance. Both the Appointed Day and the post-war arrival of colonial and Commonwealth immigrants heralded transformative change. Together, they reshaped daily life in Britain and notions of 'Britishness' alike. Yet the reciprocal impacts of post-war immigration and medicine in post-war Britain have yet to be explored. Contagious Communities casts new light on a period which is beginning to attract significant historical interest. Roberta Bivins draws attention to the importance - but also the limitations - of medical knowledge, approaches, and professionals in mediating post-war British responses to race, ethnicity, and the emergence of new and distinctive ethnic communities. By presenting a wealth of newly available or previously ignored archival evidence, she interrogates and re-balances the political history of Britain's response to New Commonwealth immigration. Contagious Communities uses a set of linked case-studies to map the persistence of 'race' in British culture and medicine alike; the limits of belonging in a multi-ethnic welfare state; and the emergence of new and resolutely 'unimagined' communities of patients, researchers, clinicians, policy-makers, and citizens within the medical state and its global contact zones. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 610 10 Great Britain. |bNational Health Service. 610 12 Great Britain. |bNational Health Service. 610 17 Great Britain. |bNational Health Service. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00677878 648 7 1900 - 1999 |2fast 650 0 Medical care |zGreat Britain |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Emigration and immigration |xHealth aspects |zGreat Britain. 650 0 Race relations |xHistory. 650 12 Emigration and Immigration |xhistory 650 22 History, 20th Century 650 22 State Medicine |xhistory 650 22 Prejudice |xethnology 650 22 Minority Health |xhistory 650 7 Emigration and immigration |xHealth aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00908703 650 7 Medical care. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01013753 650 7 Race relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086509 651 2 Great Britain 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 0 Electronic books. 710 2 Oxford University Press. 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online History |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F6333 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F6333 947 (OCoLC)ocn907205022 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5503713
