Relational Logics of Child Maintenance and Post-separation Economic Abuse in Minoritised British South Asian Muslim Post-divorce Families
This article furthers understandings of post-separation economic abuse in minoritised British South Asian Muslim post-divorce/separated families. We explore the relational logics of child maintenance payment and propensities to post-separation economic abuse which are especially egregious for British South Asian Muslim women due interlinked factors: economic marginalisation, feminised poverty, gendered asymmetries in domestic finance, sociocultur…
Building resilience: Young children from minority ethnic backgrounds starting school in a multi-ethnic society
This paper explores the experiences of twelve children and their parents from diverse minority ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds during their first school year. Drawing on sociological and educational conceptualisations of resilience, findings highlight protective factors for children’s resilience at four levels, including family and school strengths in supporting the emotional wellbeing and self-regulation of children. However, with significa…
What is Food Without Love? The Micro-politics of Food Practices Among South Asians in Britain, India, and Pakistan
This article draws on Morgan's theorisation of family life as consisting of political, moral, and emotional economies to examine the interplay of women's control over resources, gender norms, and expectations of intimacy in the context of household food consumption. The research that informs the article focuses on findings from 84 interviews with two South Asian groups: Pakistani Muslim and Gujarati Hindu women with at least one dependent child a…
Employment, masculinities, and domestic violence in ‘fragile’ contexts: Pakistani women in Pakistan and the UK
This article investigates women’s experiences of domestic violence, in two contexts rated as fragile and stable in global indices: Pakistan and the UK. The research shows the importance of understanding how intersectional disadvantages, based on gender and ethnic minority status among others, can lead to some groups of women experiencing life as inhabitants of a ‘fragile context within a stable state’
Long-term ill health and the social embeddedness of work: A study in a post-industrial, multi-ethnic locality in the UK
Against the background of an increasingly individualising welfare-to-work regime, sociological studies of incapacity and health-related worklessness have called for an appreciation of the role of history and context in patterning individual experience. This article responds to that call by exploring the work experiences of long-term sick people in East London, a post-industrial, multi-ethnic locality. It demonstrates how the individual experience…
Migration and Maternity: Insights of Context, Health Policy, and Research Evidence on Experiences and Outcomes From a Three Country Preliminary Study Across Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom
A group from Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom undertook country-specific scoping reviews and stakeholder consultations before joining to holistically compare migration and maternity in all three countries. We examined four interlinking dimensions to understand how international migrant/minority maternal health might be improved upon using transnational research: (a) wider sociopolitical context, (b) health policy arena, (c) constellation, …
Supporting Fathers in Multi-Ethnic Societies: Insights from British Asian Fathers
There is concern that current UK policy and intervention aimed at supporting fathers remains primarily informed by dominant White middle-class values and experiences, and therefore fails to respond adequately to the needs of Britain's diverse fathers. This paper contributes to understanding of ethnic diversity in fathering contexts, practices and experiences, by reporting findings from a qualitative study of British Asian fathers, involving in-de…
A care pathway approach to identifying factors that impact on diagnosis of heart disease in British Pakistani women
Purpose The authors examined the cardiac care pathway with the aim of identifying factors that impact on diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease in British Pakistani women. Design/methodology/approach This is an exploratory qualitative study. In depth interviews and focus groups with an opportunistic sample of Pakistani women and a purposive sample of clinicians working at different points along the care pathway were conducted. The auth…
Contributions and challenges of cross-national comparative research in migration, ethnicity and health: Insights from a preliminary study of maternal health in Germany, Canada and the UK
In view of these pros and cons, the paper encourages researchers to reflect more on the rationale for, feasibility and likely contribution of proposed cross-national comparative research that engages with migration, ethnicity and health and suggests some principles that could support such reflection
Ill health in the family: The intersection of employment and caring across households from four ethnic groups
The employment rates of both disabled people and those from minority ethnic groups are subject to substantial UK policy attention. In this paper we set out to enhance understanding of the relationship with the labour market for those living with long-term illness and their family members. We explore the role of family caring responsibilities and ethnicity in shaping patterns of employment participation. We do this by investigating the experiences…
Long-term health conditions and Disability Living Allowance: Exploring Ethnic Differences and Similarities in Access
Long-term health conditions affect a substantial proportion of working-age adults, often reducing their employment chances and their incomes. As a result, welfare benefits including those intended to off-set additional expenditure (primarily Disability Living Allowance [DLA]) can make an essential contribution towards maintaining living standards. Given the differences in rates of long-term health conditions for different ethnic groups, issues of…
