Adaptation Strategies of Small‐Scale Marine Fisheries in Response to Climate Change, Resource Changes, and Sudden Systemic Shocks
Biodiversity loss and climate change threaten global food security and the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Fish is considered important for combating malnutrition globally and small‐scale fisheries are vital to the marine wild capture industry, supporting livelihoods and well‐being. With many marine small‐scale fishing communities experiencing the effects of climatic and resource changes on subsistence, income, an…
SouthAsians4BlackLives
The presence of multiple racial groups was a key feature of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in 2020. This study investigates racial positionalities embedded in expressions of digital allyship with BLM on Instagram by South Asians in the U.S.A. and the prospects for cross-racial solidarity for racial justice. Our computational network analysis of Instagram posts using variations of the hashtag #sa4bl over a six-month period reveals that South As…
Refugee Women’s Volunteering as Resistance Practices to Micro‐Aggressions and Social Exclusion in the UK
In an increasingly hostile environment for refugees in the UK and the “everyday bordering” that creates exclusionary effects for refugees and migrants, this article examines how refugee women of diverse backgrounds enact resistance practices through volunteering to challenge everyday microaggressions and social exclusion. We draw on in‐depth qualitative research with members of a support group for refugee women established by a local charity in E…
Immigration, Race, and Nation in the UK
At a time of rising right-wing populism, the heightened political salience of immigration as an issue is linked to conceptions of 'the national'. In this article, we analyse tweets from non-elites, defined as isolated users with low network influence, engaged in a 'conversation' about migration on Twitter. We investigate the values embedded in these attitudes, and what these tell us about constructions and contestations of the symbolic boundaries…
Here, There and Elsewhere
Review of: Here, There and Elsewhere: The Making of Immigrant Identities in a Globalized World , Tahseen Shams (2020) Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 264 pp., ISBN 978-1-50361-069-9, h/bk, $90; ISBN 978-1-50361-283-9, p/bk, $28
‘Helping people is real Jainism’
The dominant diaspora-development discourse privileges rational imperatives and focuses on remittances to households while ignoring diaspora philanthropy to organisations. In India, religious organisations receive significant levels of diaspora philanthropy yet the motivations and cultural meanings behind such transfers, or its transnational dimensions are little understood. I examine these themes through in-depth interviews with 24 Jains in UK, …
Gendered contours of contemporary South Asian religious practices in the context of migration
Viewing religion through the social constructionist lens and adopting the methodological approach of ‘lived religion’, this article draws attention to the gendered contours of contemporary Jain practice. Although Jain dharma is a non-theistic, non-institutionalised religion, gender differences are embedded within lay practice in India. In contrast, analysis of qualitative data (interviews conducted with 50 second-generation, middle- and upper mid…
Religion, ethnicity, and citizenship
The on-going importance of religion as a marker of identity among young South Asians has provoked reflection on the relationship between religion and citizenship in the aftermath of events such as 9/11 and 7/7. In general, European and American scholarship highlights different perspectives on the role of religion in the social incorporation of immigrants and their children. In this article I explore how religion shapes identity and citizenship am…
Religion in the Everyday Lives of Second-Generation Jains in Britain and the USA
While the growth of spiritualties is associated with post-traditional societies and the ability of individuals to engage in reflexive construction of religious biographies in late modernity, these arguments ignore various dimensions of reflexivity and processes of re-traditionalization. In this article I explore linkages and affinity between social discourses in late modernity and a religion, with a distinctive ontology, originating in South Asia…

Faith and suburbia
Spectacular new religious buildings on London's outskirts are often cited as evidence of London's multicultural diversity. However, the suburban location of these new buildings is usually dismissed as incongruous, drawing on familiar tropes of the suburbs as sites of modernisation, materialism and secularism. This paper uses this assumed incongruity to address the complexity of relationships between religion and suburban space by tracing the sign…
Landscapes of diasporic religious belonging in the edge-city
This paper extends current debates about diaspora cities to the suburbs, arguing that new forms of diasporic religious architecture in suburban and edge-city locations are indicative of complex geographies of migration, settlement, mobility, transnational networks and diasporic material cultures. Drawing on a detailed analysis of the building of a new Jain Temple built in Potters' Bar, on the edge of London, by the Oshwal Community of Jains, we a…
Explaining Educational Achievement and Career Aspirations among Young British Pakistanis
This article offers an explanation for recent trends that indicate higher numbers of young British Pakistani men and women pursue higher education compared to their white peers. Our qualitative research provides evidence for shared norms and values amongst British Pakistani families, what we term 'ethnic capital'. However, our findings also highlight differences between families. The Bourdieuian notion of 'cultural capital' explains educational s…
Is yellow black or white
Given recent demographic shifts and changes in the racial landscape of many urban areas, what kind of inter-group relations have emerged and what are the prospects for cross-racial coalitions to contest racial hierarchies and structures of racial inequality in the USA? Drawing on qualitative data, I examine the efforts of an environmental justice organization, defined as a `border space', to build solidarity and forge alliances between second-gen…
From cricket lover to terror suspect' - challenging representations of young British Muslim men
In contemporary media and policy debates young British Muslim men are frequently described as experiencing cultural conflict, as alienated, deviant, underachieving, and as potential terrorists. In this article we seek to convey the everyday negotiations, struggles and structural constraints that shape the lives of young British Pakistani Muslim men in particular. We draw on interviews with British Pakistani Muslim men aged between 16 and 27 in Sl…
Being young, female and Laotian
Scholarship on the children of post-1965 immigrants to the USA posits that the ways in which this new second generation relates to family and the co-ethnic community has important effects on their educational achievement and socio-economic mobility. These linkages have been explained through the concept of ethnicity as social capital. Utilizing qualitative data on second generation Laotian girls participating in an ethnic specific youth project f…

Is the environment becoming more hazardous?-A global survey 1947 to 1980
This paper examines the assertion that natural disasters are increasingly destructive using evidence from disaster reports during the period 1947-1980. The criteria for judging the impact of a given natural disaster are chiefly loss of life and the extent of the geographical area affected. In spite of uneveness and bias in the reporting of sudden impact disasters the conclusions are that both the frequency of disasters and number of people killed…
Education and Social Change among Tr1Bals in India
The relation of education and society in contemporary changing societies has become very complex. The changing society needs a different educational system and therefore forces certain changes in its functions and structure, and as the society increases the quantum of planned change it thinks desirable, it calls upon its educational system to help it to bring it about in a peaceful manner through the socialisation of the younger generation
