Immigrants’ Integration
/Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, June 12. The introduction of a coloured family into one of 8.8.C.'s radio's most popular series could demonstrate that relationships between black and white are a normal part of human experience. Professor Kenneth Little, of the' Department of Social Anthropology at London University, says this in the current issue of a health magazine. In an article on the integration of immigrant families in Britain, he says many of them, apart from coming from an alien culture, have a rural background. The crux of the problem, he says, is that, like any other rural people unaccustomed to urban life, many of them need, expert handling, help and advice. “On the broader front, much more needs to be done to re-educate British opinion itself. Immigrants would be seen less as strangers and there might be less aversion to a ‘colour’ were there schools to provide more up-to-date teaching about religions and customs of nonEuropean peoples,” the article says.
