Historical Research on the Plural Society in Modern Britain

现代英国有时被认为是一个“成功的”多元社会。但一些历史证据表明，这种形象相当肤浅，存在着一些无形的障碍，以种族、宗教、年龄等分类来排斥各种少数民族群体。现代英国的多元社会建立在脆弱的基础上。

The modern Britain has been sometimes regarded as a 'successful' plural society. But some historical evidences indicate that such image was rather superficial and there were some 'invisible barriers' to exclude various minority groups, categorized by ethnicity, religion, age and so on. The plural society in modern Britain was/is built on the fragile foundations.
