Health Communication and Inequalities in Primary Care Access during the Covid-19 Pandemic among Ethnic Minorities in the United Kingdom: Lived Experiences and Recommendations
Health Communication is critical in the context of public health and this was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethnic minority groups were significantly impacted during the pandemic; however, communication and information available to them were reported to be insufficient. This study explored the health information communication amongst ethnic communities in relation to their experiences with primary health care services during the COVID…
Acknowledging, confronting, and transforming extra‐curricular spaces in geography
This paper examines the spatiality of exclusionary practices with British geography. In particular, I examine the ways in which oft taken‐for‐granted extra‐curricular spaces associated with a geography degree marginalise staff and students of colour. While acknowledging the increasing ethnic diversity within the student body in British universities and, in some universities, within geography departments, it is noted that some structures and space…
The 2017 RGS‐IBG chair's theme: Decolonising Geographical Knowledges, or Reproducing Coloniality
The theme for the chair's plenaries at the 2017 Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) ( RGS ‐ IBG ) Annual Conference is ‘Decolonising geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world’. This commentary explains why this pursuit of critical consciousness via decolonial thinking could do more harm than good. We show how the emphasis on decolonising geographical knowledges rather than structures, instituti…
Migration in Comparative Perspective: Caribbean Communities
This book presents a comparative perspective on post-war Caribbean migration to Britain and France. Both migrations were responses to the link between former colonies and colonial powers. However, the movements of labor occurred within separately and differently evolving political contexts, affecting the migration outcomes. Today, Caribbean communities in Europe display complex features of continuity and change. Condon and Byron examine trends in…
Migrations, résidence et représentations de la famille: Les familles caribéennes en France et en Grande-Bretagne
La famille caribéenne a longtemps fascinée les sociologues et les anthropologues nord-américains et britanniques. Malgré des références fréquentes aux liens forts entre les membres féminins de la parenté, le fait que ce « système familial », caractérisé par l’instabilité des couples soit diamétralement opposé au modèle de la famille patriarcale — reconnu comme la norme universelle de stabilité familiale et sociale — a conduit à ce que ces formes …
Effects of Emotional Disclosure on Psychological and Physiological Outcomes in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Exploratory Home-based Study
The effects of an exploratory, home-based emotional disclosure intervention on psychological and physiological outcomes were assessed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients were randomly assigned to a disclosure group ( n = 19) in which they wrote/talked about traumatic personal experiences, or to a control group ( n = 15) in which they wrote/talked about the events of a particular day. Participants undertook these tasks for periods of 2…

The Caribbean-born population in 1990s Britain: Who will return
As the Caribbean‐born population in Britain ages, the issue of return migration of labour migrants becomes pertinent. The migratory cycle model is examined in the context of this postwar movement of labour to Britain. Return migration is revealed to be a very complex issue and is only one option which migrants consider. While return is considered a less desirable option by some migrants, others are denied this option due to a lack of capital. The…
Environment and Development in the Caribbean: Geographical Perspectives
A Comparative Study of Caribbean Return Migration from Britain and France: Towards a Context-Dependent Explanation
The currently dominant element in the labour migration from the Caribbean to Britain and France is a return flow of migrants. This paper focuses on the migrations from the Commonwealth and the French Caribbean to Britain and France respectively. While these migrations are historically similar in origin, subsequent differences in the colonial and immigration policies of Britain and France have resulted in divergent migration trends and experiences…
Council House Sales, Residualisation and Afro Caribbean Tenants
During the 1980s, about 30 per cent of the council housing stock of Great Britain was sold to sitting tenants. The popular areas for purchase and the popular types of property were semi-detached and terraced houses rather than flats or maisonettes, away from the large conurbations. The types of household most likely to buy were married couples with adult children in skilled occupations. This large scale selling of council housing led to the fear …
Caribbean tenants in council housing: ‘Race’, class and gender
Caribbean households show a very high concentration in council housing and a lower than average degree of owner occupation. This article uses special tabulations from the General Household Survey to isolate the effect of socio‐economic class on housing tenures of Caribbean heads of household. It demonstrates, through a technique of standardisation, that socio‐economic class explains a great deal of the pattern of male heads of household but relat…
