Immigration and Entrepreneurship
Many nations invite foreigners to work within their borders, but few welcome them. Those countries that do receive a torrent of immigrants create pressures that analysts expect to intensify as population growth and social unrest mount in the less developed countries of the world. Immigration and Entrepreneurship, now in paperback, offers a comparative analysis of worldwide immigration issues while focusing more specifically on the emerging influe…
Twice Migrants and Multiple Migrants
This entry examines the concepts of “twice migrants” and “multiple migrants” as important components of general migration patterns. East African Asian postcolonial migrations are one example of these processes, which have been found among other groups and diverse societies around the globe. Such migrants acquire skills and networks that facilitate their ability to integrate into new environments or to move on to seek further opportunities in othe…

Dangerous Designs
In late-1990s Britain, the salwaar-kameez or 'Punjabi suit' emerged as a high-fashion garment. Popular both on the catwalk and on the street, it made front-page news when worn by Diana, Princess of Wales and by Cherie Booth, the wife of UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. In her ethnography of the local and global design economies established by Asian women fashion entrepreneurs, Parminder Bhachu focuses on the transformation of the salwaar-kameez from…

New Cultural Forms and Transnational South Asian Women
Ethnicity Constructed and Reconstructed
The paper deals with the increased consciousness of the British Sikhs of their ethnicity as defined through their religious and cultural values—which have gone through a process of effervescence with increased settlement in Britain and especially after the army action at the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1984. The thrust of the paper is that the construction of Sikh identities is not based on a single premise and a simple process, but that identit…
Culture, ethnicity and class among Punjabi Sikh women in 1990s Britain
A substantial majority of British Sikh women are, in the 1990s, either born or raised in Britain. This article proposes a more complex conceptualisation of their economic and cultural locations than is conveyed in current literature and by media images, where British Sikh women are frequently represented as ‘working class victims’, forced to struggle with their ‘oppressive cultural systems’. Yet Sikh women actively engage with the British economy…

East African Sikhs in Britain
East African Sikhs are successful settlers, having migrated twice: from India to East Africa, and then to the UK. Since the latter was a move from urban Africa to urban Britain, they were adept at dealing with British institutions, having been part of an established community in colonial British Africa. Unlike other South Asian migrants they had established community and technical skills prior to migration, which has led to the rapid establishmen…
