By considering the position of young Asians in Britain in relation to education, employment, housing and the police, and the responses they encounter from these institutions, this work presents a comprehensive analysis of this area of study. It looks at the cultural issues of family, marriage, religion and mother tongue, and analyzes the reponses of Asian parents and the Asian community towards these issues. The book compares the situation of young Asians with that of young people generally, and to those in similar circumstances but with different backgrounds and religions. It should be of interest to students of social anthropology, social work and sociology.
