Using an archive of documentary photographs taken in the late-1960s in a ‘red light’ district of Birmingham, Britain’s second city, he focuses on multiculturalism not as a set of policies but as a dynamic lived experience, a social reality reflected in both everyday relations and physical changes to the urban topography.  This is ‘actually existing’ multiculturalism, or multiculturalism at the level of the street.  What this meant in 1960s Britain, Connell argues, was the complicated, often-unruly process of immigrant communities moving towards a greater degree of permanence.
