South Asian women and health services: A study in Glasgow
A study of Punjabi Muslim women in Glasgow examined their concepts of health; assessments of their own and their families’ health; use of health services; satisfaction with health services and suggestions for improvements. The article presents and discusses the findings on each issue. In general, the women were very interested in health and keen for support in health improvement.

The Experiment That did not Fail: Image and Reality in the Israeli Kibbutz
The kibbutzim of Israel show the world that communal living can be successful, and many observers have asked the questions: Can this success be repeated elsewhere? What are its lessons for other societies? In sociology, the validity and importance of comparative study and the intrinsic interest of the kibbutz way of life cannot be denied
Kibbutz Goshen: An Israeli Commune
Racism and harassment of Asians in Glasgow
Definitions of racial harassment adopting symmetrical and asymmetrical perspectives are reviewed, and the term 'racist harassment' is proposed. The Glasgow study of harassment adopted a combined statistical and case-study approach. Black experiences of racist harassment in Glasgow in 1988 are documented through the presentation of survey results. The Housing Department recognized harassment, but its active response was confused. Transfer of victi…

Three cases are analysed, showing the interaction of formal and informal political arenas, adept formal political action, and power exercised through gossip. The conc…
Gender and Culture: Kibbutz Women Revisited
The Village and the State: Administration, Ethnicity and Politics in an Israeli Co-Operative Village
Strangers in the Kibbutz: Volunteer Workers in an Israeli Community
The position of the volunteer workforce in an Israeli kibbutz is examined in terms of Simmel's observation that strangers are both part of the community and separate from it. It is argued that the volunteers are in fact essential to the very existence of the kibbutz. Analysis of the place of the kibbutz in the Israeli socio-economic formation and the nature of kibbutz ideology shows how the volunteer workforce is created. Social interaction withi…
