Harry Goulbourne, who has died aged 73, was a leading scholar and one of the first black professors in the UK. A prolific pioneer of qualitative social science, he authored or co-authored a dozen books, including Ethnicity and Nationalism in Post-Imperial Britain (1991), Race Relations in Britain Since 1945 (1998) and Caribbean Transnational Experience (2002).
His main research focus lay not exclusively on the black community but on those, regardless of race or ethnicity, who shared comparable experiences of migration or exclusion, and his key interests were politics, race and ethnicity, transnationalism, migration and Caribbean families.
