| Annotation | The authors challenge the view that the problem of social exclusion experienced by Chinese people in the UK is caused by their cultural characteristics. They demonstrate that the main cause lies in the Chinese people's way of seeking social integration through market participation. The necessity for many Chinese families to secure their market position not only keeps them at a distance from mainstream society, but also from their own ethnic community. While they are not outsiders in either of these groups, they only have one foot in each of them (RH). |
