| Abstract: | In 1968 the Commonwealth Immigration Act rescinded the right of Asians of unrestricted entry in Britain. The crisis, as a consequence of this act, caused a lot of troubles and despair. The author tries to explain why the Asians in Kenya (especially in Nairobi) were so curiously helpless to prepare themselves for events which had long threatened, and whose possibility they had long foreseen. He also criticizes the role of sociologists in this situation because they see value systems too often as coherent in stead of contradictory. Notes. |
