Summary
Based on a study of Asian immigrants in the British northern industrial town of Blackburn, this book makes a significant contribution to the study of race relations in the West. The author formulates and tests a model that expresses the relationship between Asian communities and British society in terms of "closure", "encapsulation", and "marginaltiy", stressing the significance of Asian values and experience. Within this framework he develops a better understanding than was previously possible of the complexities and discontinuities that characterize host-immigrant relationships.
