Gender and International Migration in Europe
Gender and International Migration in Europe is a unique work which introduces a gender dimension into theories of contemporary migrations. As the European Union seeks to extend equal opportunities, increasingly restrictionist immigration policies and the persistence of racism, deny autonomy and choice to migrant women. This work demonstrates how processes of globalisation and change in state policies on employment and welfare have maintained a d…
The option to work at home
This paper compares and contrasts the demographic and employment characteristics of those who have the option to work at home with those who actually carry out paid work where they live. The results suggest that having the opportunity to choose where to work represents another perk for those already occupying an advantaged position in the labour market. However, some of the most disadvantaged in society are found among those who actually do most …
Working at Home
It is frequently suggested that working at home will be the future of work for many people in the UK and that trends in this direction are already well underway. This paper examines these claims by analysing data from the Labour Force Survey which has, at various times, asked questions about the location of work. Seven key hypotheses are identified, including issues surrounding the extent and growth of working at home, reliance on information and…

Being Your Own Boss
Exploring the notion that business activities are embedded in social relations this small scale study of 10 ethnic minority businesses in Lyon, France matched with 10 minority businesses in Birmingham, UK questions the degree of `choice' or `preference' being exercised by these entrepreneurs in their dealings with family and co-ethnics. Using qualitative methods the study concludes that many of these choices are shaped by a hostile environment wh…

The Machinery of Dominance
Minority Women and Economic Restructuring
It is argued that capital in advanced industrial Western societies has pursued a number of crisis-induced and related strategies to maintain profitability: automation, relocation and flexibility. While each of these related strategies has major implications for women's work generally, this article focuses on the specific impact that they have had on minority women's employment in Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany. On the basis of compar…
Small Firms and Minority Groups
This paper shows how the French, British and West German clothing industries were faced by the late 1960s with virtually identical problems of declining international competitiveness. Nevertheless, within a supposedly common framework of European Community policy towards the clothing industry, the strategies adopted by the three countries have differed markedly in degree of emphasis. We suggest that the retention of a large 'secondary' sector of …

A Sociology of Migration or 'Race Relations'? A View from Britain
Literature on migration in the United Kingdom during the past 20 years is reviewed. The author argues that there is no cohesive sociology of migration that can be identified. Instead, the literature has largely focused on the topic of race relations. Three perspectives on the study of migration are identified: "the political economy of racism, the sociology of ethnic relations and an eclectic body of literature...[defined] as a sociology of migra…

Racism and Political Action in Britain
Class, Race Ethnicity and Political Action
The article considers three potential processes involving the political action or inaction of West Indian and Asian immigrant workers in Britain. Drawing upon both documentary sources and the authors own research it argues that political organization across ethnic minority lines is neither a current reality nor a short-term possibility. In contrast, while members of ethnic minorities engage in class-based forms of political action, they sometimes…
