The Emigrants is a 1954 novel by Barbadian writer George Lamming, a sequel to his debut autobiographical book In the Castle of My Skin, following the life of the same protagonist as he travels from Barbados to England in search of better prospects and opportunities. Lamming "experimented with the form of the novel as he sought to portray an original historical experience: the immigration of Caribbean peoples to Britain."
