From Pakistan to Britain, the process of settlement, households and family relationships, the idiom of caste, Biradari solidarity and cousin marriage, honour and shame - gender and generation, health illness and the reproduction of the Biradari, taking and giving - domestic rituals and female networks, public faces - leadership, religion and political mobilization
Alison Shaw
"This is an engaging account of the Oxford Pakistani community,
which convincingly updates the first edition."
"...a superb anthropological study which should rank with the best
for teaching purposes as a model for the craft and the subject.
Based upon magnificent fieldwork in England and Pakistan, it is
beautifully written and produced, and though it deals with the
relatively small Pakistani community in Oxford, has relevance for
the understanding of Pakistani settlement in Britain
generally."
' ...by a wide margin, the richest, most comprehensive and most
lively account yet produced of life within Britain's booming ethnic
colonies.' - Roger Ballard, University of Manchester, UK
