Phoenix one of my pupils makes his A level next month and we just deal with the problems in the UK.
In my book they write that after the introduction of the rigorous National Act of 1981 the number of immigrants considerably dropped and that in 1993 for instance only 53,600 people from foreign and Commonwealth nations were accepted for settlement.
As conclusion they say that in Britain there's not only a social gap, but also a colour gap and that race struggle is connectedwith class struggle.
Are they wrong?

It's a school book used for the preparation of A level in English.
Moreover our pupils have to read stories dealing with the time of colonialisation and the consequenes of this colonialisation. Do you know by chance the movie "My son the fanatic"? This is one story we have to read.

Yes, he became an Islamist - he was a second generation English.

Topic of the English tests for A level is "Colonial Time" of the UK, i.e. we read a lot of short stories dealing with life of the Brits in their colonies and of the time after Britain lost its colonies, among others stories from Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham, Muriel Spark, Doris Lessing, Quisra Sharaz, Salman Rushdie and Hanif Kureishi, as well as of African writers like Narayan, Achebe and wa Thong'O. In the past years we always dealt with American topics, but now a minister found out that Britain is nearer and that we should deal with the problems of this country.
My son the Fanatic is also a movie, but I haven't seen it yet - I only read the story.

In the main, my interests are about war's and how and why they started. Also I have the DVD sets of The 1st. and 2nd. world wars, which I find very interesting. The horror, that soldiers went through, beggars belief and the question Is still Why did they happen??

William my pupils just get a list of the books that have to be read and every two years they choose new books.

Phoenix, that's a good motto - debates about religion can sometimes get very hot.

that's quite true, Phoenix.
