Chinese People in Britain: Histories, Futures and Identities

Abstract

Virtually every piece of research on the Chinese population of Britain remarks on just how little is known about one of the country’s longeststanding minorities. However, as the bibliography to this chapter suggests, there has been a steady increment in the data available. What Chinese people in Britain lacked until recently was their own united voice. They have been kept on the margins of both social-science research and politics, because they fall outside the prevailing black-white binary and because of their dispersed pattern of settlement. Moreover, for both the first and subsequent generations, negotiating difficult constraints in the labour market has taken priority over political participation. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
