Studies of immigrant groups within the UK have long been couched in
terms of nation-based ethnic classifications. Yet the religious
affiliation of such groups is increasingly prominent within
societal and policy discourse. Previous studies have examined the
spatial distribution of ethnic groups or religious affiliation but
rarely have the interactions between ethnicity and faith been
considered. This book details results from Sarah-Anne Munoz's
doctoral research that investigated whether religion is important
in explaining the residential patterning of ethnic minority groups
by considering the Indian and Pakistani populations of two Scottish
cities. The book presents both quantitative and qualitative
understandings of ethnic-faith geographies, as well as utilising a
unique set of geographical boundaries to make accurate comparisons
between different census years. This assesses the role of religious
affiliation in the production and evolution of ethnic residential
segregation. Using qualitative methods it also investigates the
role of religion in the construction of place-based identities and
notions of community.
