A joint CUCR/South Bank University ESRC funded project will address the
question of the changing forms of political participation among ethnic
minority communities in contemporary Britain. This project will study the
participation of ethnic minorities in conventional forms of democratic
activity and the role of participation within the alternative public sphere
of ethnic minority civil society.
The research will be focussed on three localities: two in London and one in Birmingham. The team will also investigate the role of organisations and movements that have emerged within minority communities to give voice to specific interests or concerns.
