Ethnicity and Economy: 'Race and Class' Revisited [Paperback]

The nature of the connection between economic action and structure and ethnic identities receives here a long overdue and incisive re-examination. The question is addressed theoretically by revisiting the 'race and class' debate and by a wide-ranging review of the contexts in which the conjuncture of ethnicity-economy is worked out. It is also addressed empirically in a series of case studies of ethnically-defined groups and their articulation with the economy. A combination of established authors and new researchers have made an invaluable contribution to the field.Introduction PART I: THEORETICAL INTERVENTIONS Ethnicity, Economy and Class: Towards the Middle Ground; S.Fenton & H.Bradley Race, Ethnicity and Class in Different Political and Intellectual Conjunctures; J.Rex Racism, Sexuality and Political Economy: Marxism/Foucault/'Postmodernism'; A.Rattansi Gender, Ethnicity and Social Stratification: Rethinking Inequalities; F.Anthias Muslim Voices: Class, Economics Restructuring and the Formation of Political Identity; P.M.Glavanis Ethnicity and Class a Competing Interpretations: Socio-economic Mobility of Asian Americans; D.Woo PART II: EMPIRICAL ILLUSTRATIONS The Ugandan Asians in Sweden: Twenty-five Years after the Expulsion; C.Westin Social Exclusion and YoungTurkish-speaking People's Future Prospects: Economic Deprivation and the Culturization of Ethnicity; P.Enneli Migrant Workers in the Construction of Industry: The Experience on Tunisians in Modula; F.Daly 'Not Just Lucky White Heather and Clothes Pegs': Putting European Gypsy and Traveller Economic Niches in Context; C.Clark Bibliography IndexFLOYA ANTHIAS Professor of Sociology and Head of Sociology, University of GreenwichCOLIN CLARK Lecturer in Sociology and Social Policy, University of Newcastle upon TyneFAYCEL DALY Post-Doctoral Fellow and Lecturer in Research Methods and Social Science, South Bank UniversityPINAR ENNELI Research Assistant, Department of Sociology, University of BristolPANDELI M.l£+
