Do second-generation ethnic minorities, those born and brought up
in Britain, increasingly adopt British attitudes, values and ways
or life, or do they, as some commentators have claimed, remain
isolated from the mainstream? This study maps the extent of
generational change among Britain's ethnic minority population and
explores the underlying processes involved. It asks whether
generational change has been in the direction of greater
integration, or whether some minorities been slower to integrate,
perhaps as a result of the prejudice and discrimination from the
white British that they have encountered or because of desires to
maintain ethnic values and resist Western practices. The study
draws on the most recent and most authoritative British data to
answer these questions. Chapter authors include leading authorities
both from Britain and America, including Mary Waters (Harvard),
Lucinda Platt (LSE) and Anthony Heath, CBE (Oxford and Manchester)
as well as a new generation of young scholars. It will be essential
reading both for students and scholars working on ethnic relations
and for policy-makers and the wider public interested in questions
of social cohesion, multiculturalism and integration. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
