Includes bibliographical references (pages 280-282) and index.

An intensive look at the experience of colonial students in Britain and the reaction of British society to them. This work is more than a study of the reaction to discrimination; it shows how the general picture of the problems of a group tend to be distorted by discrimination. Braithwaite explores the students' problems with the colonial officials, their social experiences, their university experiences and their political involvement. Braithwaite also considers how the experience of colonial students in Britain gave birth to a new breed of West Indian nationalism that was integral to the region's Independence Era.
