Recensies en Artikelen
“This study throws light on social constraints and possibilities at a time of increasing national debate on migration, race and ethnicity. Bauer yields important new information of value to policymakers – with implications for multi-ethnic, multi-cultural areas everywhere.”
Elizabeth Thomas-Hope, Professor of Environmental Management and Director, Centre for Environmental Management, University of the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica
“Given the great numbers and growth of mixed African-Caribbean and white British families in Britain, Bauer’s book provides a valuable and insightful study of extended mixed families and kinship in the UK.”
Miri Song, Reader in Sociology, School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, University of Kent, United Kingdom
“Elegantly bringing together family sociology and ethnic/racial studies, and in a historical perspective, Bauer examines how, in confronting racism during the making of creole kinship, families become sites of resistance.”
Stéphanie Condon, National Demographic Institute (INED), Paris, France

The Creolisation of London Kinship
Mixed African-Caribbean and White British Extended Families, 1950-2003
In de afgelopen vijftig jaar heeft het Verenigd Koninkrijk een aanzienlijke groei meegemaakt van gemengde gezinnen met een Afro-Caribische en blanke achtergrond. The Creolisation of London Kinship levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan zowel onderzoek naar verwantschap als aan bredere maatschappelijke debatten en legt de nadruk op langetermijnveranderingen in familierelaties door de generaties heen. De individuen worden gevolgd binnen de veranderende maatschappelijke en historische context, om er achter te komen in welke mate deze transformaties leiden tot creolisering.
