Diaspora, Migration and Race - Research task by Allyson Edwards https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6 You must create a 10-tweet twitter thread presenting your research on the resettlement of a Diaspora group of your choice. In your twitter thread you must answer 4 questions: 1) How was this group moved from its ancestral homeland? 2) What was their experience in the new place they had moved/ been place/ exiled? 3) Why were they resettled? Did they do this themselves? Did they have help from someone else? 4) What were some of the consequences they faced during this resettlement? To start a new 'shelf' or 'thread' in our case, press the '+' button in the bottom right hand corner of this page. Remember to include your name(s) on the shelf. en-us 2023-02-21 08:30:20 UTC 2023-04-18 13:34:34 UTC hello@padlet.com My chosen case study aedwards266 https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489416653 Write here why I chose this particular group.]]> 2023-02-21 08:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489416653 My case study's experience aedwards266 https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489417752 Here I will write about the experience of my case study in the place they have moved/ been exiled to. ]]> 2023-02-21 08:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489417752 My case study's experience 2 aedwards266 https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489418200 I might include a primary source here, with my analysis of their experience. ]]> 2023-02-21 08:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489418200 My case study's move/ exile aedwards266 https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489419277 Give a history of how this Diaspora group because separated from their ancestral home. ]]> 2023-02-21 08:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489419277 My case study's resettlement 1 aedwards266 https://padlet.com/aedwards266/c21vcpm7hsc2jcl6/wish/2489420276 Maybe I'll write here about the beginning of their resettlement.

With the arrival of the first passengers, the British government proceeded to recruit workers, especially those from the Caribbean, to assist in the rebuilding of the country. According to a national population census, there were around 161,000 persons born in the Caribbean living in England and Wales in 1961. By 1971, over 500,000 people had migrated to the United Kingdom from the Commonwealth, the majority of whom were from the Caribbean.
