  • Slippery Segregation: Discovering or Manufacturing Ghettos

    Ceri PeachARTICLENew Community2009Cited by: 57References: 21

    Controversy exploded in 2005 over a paper at the Annual Conference of the Royal Geographical Society and the Institute of British Geographers which claimed that ethnic segregation in Britain was increasing, ghettos had formed and some British cities were more segregated than Chicago. The paper asserted that indexes failed to measure segregation and should be abandoned in favour of a threshold schema of concentrations using raw data. These asserti…

  • South Asian migration and settlement in Great Britain, 1951–2001

    Ceri PeachARTICLEContemporary South Asia2006Cited by: 28

    This paper provides the statistical and background material for an understanding of the South Asian Diasporic communities in contemporary Britain. The article draws on the results of the British Census 2001, which gives precise data for the first time on the religious as well as ethnic composition of South Asian communities. The paper discusses the rather narrow set of source areas in the subcontinent and East Africa, and the similarly narrow set…

  • Islam, ethnicity and South Asian religions in the London 2001 census

    Open AccessCeri PeachARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…2006Cited by: 56References: 29

    The paper examines the relative strengths of the cross‐cutting variables of religion and ethnicity. British Muslims are often referred to as if they were a single community. The 2001 Censuses of England and Wales and Scotland demonstrate that Muslims are ethnically heterogeneous. Ethno‐religious ward‐level data for London from the 2001 census are used to test whether Islam binds together peoples of different ethnicity or whether ethnicity links g…

  • Muslims in the 2001 Census of England and Wales: Gender and economic disadvantage

    Ceri PeachARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2006Cited by: 59References: 10

    The article presents new data for the Muslim population of Britain from the 2001 Census. It uses the cross tabulations of ethnicity by religion to back-project the growth of the Muslim population from 21,000 in 1951 to 1.6 millions in 2001. It examines the social, economic, demographic and geographic characteristics of the population. Although Muslims are often represented as a homogenous group, there are considerable internal differences, so tha…

  • Ethnicity, Social Mobility, and Public Policy: Comparing the USA and UK

    Open AccessMary J Hickman, Nathan Glazer et al.BOOKEthnicity, Social Mobility, and…2005

    This major comparative study of the social mobility of ethnic minorities in the US and UK argues that social mobility must be understood as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon, incorporating the wealth and income of groups, but also their political power and social recognition. Written by leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers, and philosophers in both countries, the volume addresses issues as diverse as educat…

  • Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs in the New Religious Landscape of England

    Open AccessCeri Peach, Richard GaleARTICLEGeographical Review2003Cited by: 39References: 24

    This article examines the dramatic changes brought to English townscapes by Islam, Hinduism, and Sikhism. These “new” religions have arrived with the large-scale immigration and subsequent natural growth of the minority ethnic populations of Great Britain since the 1950s. The article traces the growth and distribution of these populations and religions, as well as the development of their places of worship from front-room prayer rooms to cathedra…

  • Social geography: New religions and ethnoburbs – contrasts with cultural geography

    Open AccessCeri PeachARTICLEProgress in Human Geography2002Cited by: 31References: 25

    In this, my third and final review of social geography, I want to return to the theme on which I started (Peach, 1999). There is a fundamental, but hopefully fruitful, tension between the ways in which social and cultural geography consider matters of common interest. One of the consequences of the fashion for postmodernism in human geography is that cultural geography, with its emphases on hybridity, in-betweenness and flexibility, has claimed t…

  • London and New York: Contrasts in British and American models of segregation with a comment by Nathan Glazer

    Open AccessCeri PeachARTICLEInternational Journal of…1999References: 14

    London and New York differ dramatically in the social geographies of their ethnic minority populations. London is a city with immigrants and minorities, while New York is a city of immigrants and minorities. In London they are recent, while in New York they are the lifeblood of its history. The contrasts in social geography stem also from the differing origins of the ethnic minority populations and the constitutional differences between the count…

    Les groupes ethniques au recensement de 1991. Ceri Peach. Le recensement britannique de 1991 a été le premier à poser une question sur l'origine ethnique. Il a révélé que la population d'origine non européenne s'élevait à trois millions de personnes, soit 5,5 % de la population britannique. Près de la moitié sont nés en Grande Bretagne. Les Indiens constituent le groupe le plus nombreux, et avec les Pakistanais et les Bangladais ils représentent …

  • South Asian and Caribbean Ethnic Minority Housing Choice in Britain

    Open AccessCeri PeachARTICLEUrban Studies1998Cited by: 37References: 11

    The paper deals with choice and constraint in ethnic minority housing in Britain. It argues that the interpretation of patterns has changed from one in which minorities were viewed as powerless victims of racist discriminatory constraint, to one in which they are seen as exercising a greater degree of autonomy. Indian and Pakistani housing tenure is shown to have great similarities in terms of owner-occupation but to diverge greatly in terms of h…

  • Pluralist and Assimilationist Models of Ethnic Settlement in London 1991

    Open AccessCeri PeachARTICLETijdschrift voor Economische en…1997Cited by: 9References: 9

    London 1991 census data are used to examine two theories of ethnic minority adjustment to dominant societies and their accompanying spatial patterns. The assimilationist model suggests a complete diffusion of residence over time and high rates of intermarriage or cohabitation; the pluralist model suggests continuing, moderately high levels of segregation and high degrees of social closure. The article argues that in London, die Caribbean populati…

  • Good segregation, bad segregation

    Ceri PeachARTICLEPlanning Perspectives1996

    Much of the literature on segregation is underlain by an implicit model which argues that groups start highly segregated in inner city locations and disperse over time. Parallel and related to this spatial pattern is the social process of assimilation. Groups start highly segregated and unassimilated and become dispersed and assimilated over time. The paper argues that there is a critical distinction between the black American ghetto and other fo…

    compare British levels of segregation with those experienced by African Americans in the United States. British levels of segregation are much lower than those found in the USA and, for the Black Caribbean population, they are falling. South Asian levels of segregation are higher than for the Caribbean population but show considerable internal variation. Bangladeshis, the most recently arrived of the groups, show the highest levels of encapsulati…
