Abstract:

"In this paper I discuss the underlying processes generating the immigrant 'economic enclave', and examine the management of relations within the household and wider kin networks in the context of immigrant enterprise. My aim is to elucidate the way family, capital, and labour interrelate under conditions of both immigrant community growth and development, and family growth." The focus is on Pakistanis who have migrated to Manchester, England, since the end of World War II. (EXCERPT)
