AnnotationThe models used for looking at the problems of black and minority ethnic (BME) groups in urban areas are inappropriate for considering the needs of BME groups in rural areas. A pilot study for a partnership of local authorities and housing associations in mid Bedfordshire points to the importance of the local context to individuals' perceptions of isolation and exclusion, or of integration in the local community. However, integration need not be to the exclusion of maintaining kin relationships outside the locality, as in the case of religious affiliations. (RH).
