Conclusion.This volume provides a unique perspective on elderly working-class West Indian migrants in the UK, particularly examining how they negotiate their sense of belonging. Utilizing the life span gaze and including elements of oral history and narrative, this ethnography provides rich insight into the ordinary lives, migratory circumstances, social networks, and interactions with the state as residents in a sheltered housing scheme in Brixton, London. The author further compiles a variety of genealogy charts, providing a uniquely vivid scholarly analysis of the Caribbean migrant experience both in a "place" and through space and time. Ultimately, this work contemplates how communities face change whilst at once developing a local symbolic cultural site, navigating adaptation to new economic and social environments.EthnologyEmigration and immigrationSocial structureEqualitySociologySocial groupsSociocultural AnthropologyEthnographyHuman MigrationSocial StructureSociology of Family, Youth and AgingEthnology.Emigration and immigration.Social structure.Equality.Sociology.Social groups.Sociocultural Anthropology.Ethnography.Human Migration.Social Structure.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.306305.8969729042165Allwood Audrey932039MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910863184103321Belonging in Brixton2096631UNINA
