  host immigrant model

  Britain is a stable homogenous and orderly society with a high degree of consensus - this equilibrium was disrupted by the arrival of immigrants in the 1950s

  hosts were not actually racist just very unsure about how to act towards newcomers

  cause of ethnic inequality:

  • host culture fear of cultural differences
  • having to compete for scarce resources - houses and jobs
  • failure of immigrants to assimilate
• 7C.3 Cox


  race is a social contruct

  race is something that is developed by exploiters against the exploited

  if racism is developed to justify exploitation, it can't be developed by those who are exploited

  not only white people can be racist, but white people who developed capitalism therefore they first developed racism
• 7C.3 Castles and Kosak


  for a reserve army of labour to be possible, you need a surplus of labour power to keep wage costs down

  therefore most immigrants are concentrated in low skilled & low paying jobs

  divide and rule

  scapegoat

  racialised class fractions

  at the end of colonialism the type of racism that saw different types of biological grouping as a superior or inferior to others was replaced with nationalism

  status should be used alongside concept of class to explain racism
• 7C.3 Barron and Norris


  dual labour market

  primary labour market - well paid, secure jobs with good promotional purpose

  secondary labour market - low pay, poor conditions and few promotional aspects

  material disadvantage

  cuts minorities off from white working class groups

  black underclass feel marginalised, alienated and frustrated

  • experiences status inequality further compounded by feeling that they have been socially excluded

  underclass are ultimate victims and ethnic minorities are heavily concentrated in the underclass
• 7C.3 Abbot et al


  previous strands of feminism have been:

  • ethnocentric
  • perpetuated a 'victim ideology'
  • practiced theoretical racism
• 7C.3 Brewer


  race, class and gender as simultaneous forces

  each inequality reinforces and multiplies the other inequality
• 7C.3 Mirza


  the need for black feminism

  the group can make an important contribution to the development of feminist theory

  can challenge the idea of black women as passive victims of racism, patriarchy and social class inequality

  post colonial feminism

  inequalities cause by colonisation, particularly in economically developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America
• 7C.3 Murray


  black underclass

  1960s welfare reforms led to an increase in the number of never married black single mothers and many black youth loosing interest in getting job
• 7C.3 Sewell


  triple quadrai of oppression

  media, institutional racism, fatherlesness

  
  

  high proportion of African American boys are raised in lone parent families - 57%

  absence of a male role model within the family makes young African carribean boys more vulnerable to peer pressure

  first host immigrant model

  disadvantage goes away once assimilated
• 7C.3 Parsons


  values change over time and minorities have to fill that role
• 7C.3 Weber
