The Everyday Transnational Practices of Migrant Youth
Transnationalism is part of broader globalisation processes and raises important questions in relation to migration, identity, multiculturalism and the very nation-state itself. The focus of this paper is on the transnational practices of migrant youth in three Western, multicultural cities. The transnational engagements of migrant youth often engender cultural, social and political connections between both countries of origin and countries of re…
Navigating racist encounters in the workplace
A Forced Union
This article adds to academic literature interested in two core questions: What happens to residents as a result of an annexation? And how do aggressor states maintain control over an annexed territory where there is a history of insurgency and mobilization for independence? It does so through a qualitative study exploring both civilian accounts and legal amendments made in the immediate aftermath of the forced removal of Jammu and Kashmir's (J&K…
Multicultural realities
Drawing on empirical data from Australia, Canada, and England, this paper investigates how migrant youth engage with multiculturalism through the lens of transcultural capital. Employing a comparative framework, we examine how these young individuals interpret, experience, and mobilise overlapping multicultural discourses in their everyday lives. By centring the lived experiences of migrant youth, we shift the analytical focus from abstract ideal…
British Muslims and the Census
The National Census of Population is conducted every 10 years and produces the most comprehensive set of statistics about Muslims living in the United Kingdom. Yet, despite the census data's utility, research among a sample of British Muslims, as discussed in this article, identified concerns on how such statistics can be misconstrued, due to a widespread normalisation of Islamophobia within British society and the media. Furthermore, a lack of t…
Identity categories and colonial legacies in the British urban space
This article advances conceptual debates regarding identity and marginalisation in valuable ways and informs methodological improvements for representation within data collection systems. It discusses findings from a study exploring the inclusion – and exclusion – of identity categories within official data collection exercises. A theme that emerged from the research was how intricacies present within the lived experiences of ethno-linguistic gro…
Ethnic desegregation and ‘resegregation’ in northern English schools
This article discusses findings on inter- and intra-ethnic friendship choices among Pakistani, Bangladeshi and white students within three schools characterised by varying ethnic composition and levels of diversity. Although many participants perceived ethnically diverse schools positively, students commonly described the majority of their friends and, in particular, close friends, as belonging to the same ethnic group. Pakistani and Bangladeshi …

Exploring the migration of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs in Birmingham by ward concentration and deprivation
This paper explores the migration within as well as migration to Birmingham of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. It provides analysis and reflection on the relationship between migration, faith group concentration and deprivation. The findings demonstrate how Muslim, Hindu and Sikh migration trends differ for specific wards characterised by contrasting levels of both socio-economic disadvantage and faith group clustering. Hindus are shown to migrate to …
Islamic Universalism or Ethno-nationalism? Exploring identity salience within a Kurdish migrant community in Britain
This article examines identity salience among members of a Kurdish Muslim migrant community in England. The study, in contrast to previous research on the Kurdish diaspora, focuses on religious identity in a small-city context, with recently arrived migrants, predominately from Iraqi Kurdistan. In-depth interviews highlight how ethnic repression within sending nations results in greater politicisation of ethnicity and in turn salience over all ot…

Islamic schools in the United States and England
Debates over faith-based schools have resurfaced in recent years, due largely to an increase in Islamic schools in the West and concerns regarding their role vis-a-vis social cohesion. Such debates typically occur in the public and political realms, with less academic attention to the issue. This study addresses this gap by focusing on Islamic schools in the US and England. The article draws on extensive qualitative data collected over 20 months …
Missing from the ‘minority mainstream’
Pahari speakers form one of the largest ethnic non-European diasporas in Britain. Despite their size and over 60 years of settlement on British shores, the diaspora is shrouded by confusion regarding official and unofficial categorisations, remaining largely misunderstood as a collective with a shared ethnolinguistic memory. This has had implications for the recognition of Pahari within mainstream minority language provision. The first half of th…
Minority religions in the census
This article considers the impact of census data on British Muslims, as well as the potential consequences of changes to the UK census beyond 2011 for minority religions. Focusing on the Muslim case, it reflects on data generated in previous censuses and the ways in which they have been used. The discussion explores the perceived need for social statistics on religion, particularly in relation to the increased identification of ‘Muslim’ as a reli…
Exploring the Ethnic Dimension of Internal Migration in Great Britain using Migration Effectiveness and Spatial Connectivity
Using data from the 2001 Census Special Migration Statistics, this paper explores ethnic variations in the propensity to migrate, the effectiveness of net migration in redistributing ethnic populations, and the connectivity between places that results from ethnic migration. London has by far the largest concentration of ethnic minority populations in Great Britain and plays a key role in the national internal migration system. By decomposing the …
Muslims on the Map
Many faith groups in the UK – most notably Muslims – have in recent years challenged the idea that religion should be predominantly a matter for the private domain. In response to this challenge, the 2001 National Census included the question of religious affiliation. Using the large-scale data of the 2001 National Census, “Muslims on the Map” has created the first long awaited community profile which looks at Muslims as an entire faith community…
The internal migration propensities and net migration patterns of ethnic groups in Britain
Internal migration propensities of ethnic groups are examined using three types of census data. Special Migration Statistics show variation in aggregate propensities whereas commissioned age-specific flow data indicate age variations by ethnic group. Micro data from Samples of Anonymised Records confirm low Asian propensities and suggest convergence between 1991 and 2001. Inter-district net migration reveals familiar counterurbanisation trends fo…
