Migrants and Refugees: Muslim and Christian Pakistani families in Bristol

by Patricia Jeffery

Overview

Originally published in 1976, this study analyses the immigration of Muslim and Christian Pakistani families coming into Britain. Dr Jeffery develops the argument to look behind the sharp differences which emerged between the Muslim and the Christian families. Drawing on material gathered in Pakistan as well as Britain, Dr Jeffery paints a picture of the families' lives in Britain from their points of view, and argues that the differences between the Muslims and the Christians must be traced back to the different ways in which they see their positions in Pakistan.
