Refugee Movements: From the Eighteenth Century to Today

<<previous next>>

Refugee Movements

“National history has marginalized the long history of refugee settlement
in Britain and, in doing so, helped to stigmatize the… arrival of refugees”

This research guide is designed to a give a working introduction to the history of refugee movements in Birmingham.

  • Who were the first refugees to come to Birmingham?
  • Where were they from?
  • Why has Birmingham been a home to different refugee communities and what social struggles have they undergone?
  • How can we use ‘learning’ and ‘history’ to combat the prejudices refugee communities face today?
