Soc sci'ts have concentrated on the S-cul problems of colored immigration to the UK while neglecting or treating as peripheral the econ dimension. Migration to the UK is not the result of a sudden or unique set of circumstances, but must be understood as the product of the relation between a highly industr'ized society with a neo-imperialist position & the territories of its former Empire, as well as other parts of the underdeveloped world including Southern Europe. Transfers of labor are an integral part of this relationship, & comparable use is made in other Western European countries of non-indigenous labor. Neglect of this aspect leads to inadequate understanding of the pol'al & S-cul dimensions. A pol'al-economy of migration rather than naive push-pull models is needed. Immigration policies have attempted in an ad-hoc way to overcome the basic contradiction between manpower needs of the economy & the SP consequences of allowing entry to non-indigenous labor. Britain has consistently discriminated against colored labor since 1962, except for highly qualified, skilled experienced personnel, & allowed entry to white, alien labor. The logical outcome of proposals to carry this further so that a system of highly org'ed contract labor is developed, while providing some kind of econ solution, involves widespread difficulties & raises serious questions of future ethnic & race relations.
