In what ways are gender and ethnic identities complementary or competing? Does ethnic change necessarily entail change in gender identities and do changes in gender roles actually lead the way in effecting ethnic change? These and related questions are explored through detailed and sensitive accounts of Punjabi families in Scotland and England, Hindu widows, the laws affecting family and migration, hybrid identities in the African and Asian diasporas, Surinamese networks in Amsterdam, Black nurses in Britain and gender identity in post-Soviet Latvia.
