Minority Viewpoint
The research reported in this paper is an abridged version of a study exploring the views of ethnic minority communities in Renfrewshire. The study provided a voice to these communities in relation to their awareness of Renfrewshire Council's services and initiatives targeting ethnic minority groups. The study also surveyed the extent to which ethnic minorities engage with ethnic minority organisations designed to support their needs, the challen…
Ethnic Minority Sole Traders' Experiences of Racial Discrimination
The problem of racism has afflicted British society for some time though it has been more transparent since the large-scale influx of immigrants during the 1960s (Cashmore 1996, pp. 40-43). These immigrants and their succeeding generations have suffered discrimination in various walks of life as highlighted by Baxter (1997), Modood et al. (1998a) and Ishaq and Hussain (2001). The passage of legislation such as the Race Relations Act 1976 and more…
Multicultural Nationalism
This book is a pioneering study of how multiculturalism interacts with sub-state nationalism in Britain. It gives equal attention to Scotland’s largest ‘visible’ and ‘invisible’ minorities: ethnic Pakistanis (almost all of them Muslim) and English immigrants; and to the Islamophobia and Anglophobia of majority Scots. Rising Scottish self-consciousness could have threatened both these minorities. But in reality, problems proved to be solutions, in…

Ethnic minority women and the British armed forces
The issue of women serving in the British Armed Forces is both a topical and a politically sensitive subject, particularly with regard to the question of whether they should be allowed to perform combat roles. Indeed the issue has increased in salience in the last few years in view of the strong emphasis the Blair government has placed on diversity issues, particularly those of racial diversity. This policy shift has been reinforced by the Minist…
How and Why lslamophobia is tied to English Nationalism but not to Scottish Nationalism
Muslim minorities throughout Europe are under threat of collateral damage from the Blair/Bush 'War on Terror.' In Scotland they also have to cope with the added possibility that Scottish nationalism might develop an 'ethnic' as well as a 'civic' dimension. But is Scottish nationalism part of the problem or part of the solution? Paradoxically, Muslims are under less pressure in Scotland than in England, despite Scotland's move over recent decades-…
Careers In The British Armed Forces
In the past 4 years, the Ministry of Defence has embarked on a concerted effort to encourage ethnic minorities living in the United Kingdom to consider a career in the British Armed Forces. In view of the diverse nature of Britain's minorities, there has been an emphasis on targeting specific groups rather than treating ethnic minorities as one distinct group. Among those targeted have included Blacks of African and Caribbean origin. This article…

Scottish Pakistani Muslims' Perceptions of the Armed Forces
British Pakistani Muslims' Perceptions of the Armed Forces
This paper focuses on how Muslims (of Pakistani origin) living in Britain perceive the British Armed Services as a career. The analysis draws on a survey of 300 individuals, who were interviewed personally, in three languages: English, Punjabi and Urdu, using semi-structured, open ended, in-depth interviews. The survey results reveled that the Muslims' interviewed are aware of the negative aspects of the forces such as racism and are largely unaw…
Race and Recruitment from a Uniformed Services' Perspective
In recent times there has been much debate about the publicity surrounding the low level of ethnic minority representation in the uniformed services. Indeed, the issue has become so important that increasing ethnic minority representation across the public services had become an important government policy objective under the direction of the former Home Secretary, Jack Straw. In response to this, representatives from a number of the uniformed se…
