Dr Dalton Rawcliffe publishes paper in the journal Contemporary British History

Dr Dalton Rawcliffe, SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham’s Department of History, has just had a paper published in the journal Contemporary British History: “A successful transnational cold war intervention? Revisiting the Heung Yee Kuk’s ‘goodwill’ tour of Britain’s Chinatowns, 1967–1970”.

The paper explores transnational links between British Chinese communities in the 1960s and events which were occurring in this same period in colonial Hong Kong – especially the 1967 riots – as well as attempts by the colonial Hong Kong authorities to influence opinion in Chinese communities in the UK.

The paper is available here.
