Ethnic Identity and Acculturation of South Asian Adolescents: A British Perspective
This paper presents an up-to-date review of the field. One of the main findings to emerge from a literature survey on the identity of Asian young people concerns the saliency of ethnicity. Ethnicity seems to be rooted in religion and language, which in many instances is only symbolic in nature, ie the young people are not always practising their religion, nor are they learning to read and write their ancestral language (see Modood et al., 1994). …

Canadian or Indo-Canadian: A Study of South Asian Adolescents

The present research was planned to investigate the acculturation attitudes of Indo-Canadian young people and to explore the reliability and validity of the scale in a different cultural milieu. One hundred boys and girls participated in the study. The sample scored very highly on the sca…
Have they passed the cricket test? A ‘qualitative’ study of Asian adolescents
50 Asian youngsters from three multi‐cultural schools were interviewed to ascertain their views on a variety of personal, social and educational matters. The primary aim of the project was to investigate the nature of their cultural identities. The analysis of the data showed quite clearly that this group of teenagers are adopting some of the norms of the British society, but at the same time retaining key elements of their own cultures, e.g. lan…
Educational attitudes of Bengali families in Cardiff
Thirty Bengali families in Cardiff (19 Muslims and 11 Hindus) were interviewed to ascertain their views on various aspects of British education. The main findings were that both Hindus and Moslems wanted their language and religion to be taught in schools. The Moslems, however, were generally less satisfied with British educational methods, were less able to help their children with school work, and were of the opinion that more prejudice existed…

The sample consisted of sixty childre…
