Focusing on the evolution of the Pakistani community in Oxford since World War II, this ethnographic account explores migration dynamics, residence patterns, and kinship ties. Alison Shaw examines the interplay of health perceptions, political and religious authority, and the socio-economic changes impacting British Pakistanis, all while reflecting on their connections to rural Pakistan. This revised edition updates the original work published in 1988, offering deeper insights into the community's transformations and continuities over time.
