Recensies en Artikelen
“Debates about ethnic segregation need to be informed by careful analysis such as this. It is too easy to assume that some groups want to live separately from others, and that younger generations will simply follow the behaviours of their elders. This book shows that the reality for Asians in British cities is much more complex and interesting than ‘conventional wisdom’ often assumes.”
-- Ade Kearns, Professor of Urban Studies, University of Glasgow
|“This book offers rich insights into the processes of ethnic suburbanisation and integration amongst Glasgow’s South Asian population and has important implications for understanding the dynamics of ethnic residential change.”
-- Deborah Phillips, Reader in Ethnic and Racial Studies, University of Leeds

Understanding Processes of Ethnic Concentration and Dispersal
South Asian Residential Preferences in Glasgow
De rellen in Parijs en de zogenaamde 'race riots' in Engeland maken duidelijk hoe belangrijk het is de oorzaken van etnische segregatie te begrijpen om adequaat actie te ondernemen. De onderliggende processen die immigranten doen besluiten ergens te gaan wonen blijken complex en dynamisch. Status, sociale klasse, opleidingsniveau, leeftijd en cultuur zijn slechts een aantal factoren. Dit boek brengt deze processen in kaart met een diepgaand onderzoek naar de voorkeuren voor bepaalde woonplaatsen van Zuid-Aziatische immigranten in Glasgow.
