    • Abstract:
      Whether Britain returned their love is arguable, but as the country was in need of workers, it eventually granted "indefinite leave to remain" to those aboard the Windrush and the nearly half million other West Indians settled in Britain by 1973. In the years since the ship's arrival, "Windrush" has become shorthand for the pioneer generation of Caribbean migrants who went to the United Kingdom during and after World War II. Carby's story begins just before the Windrush landed. In fact, Carl Carby felt so British that after Jamaica became independent in 1962, he didn't relinquish his British colonial passport for a Jamaican one. [Extracted from the article]
