ethnicity

Geography
  • A cultural and geographic entity that emerges when a group shares a common ancestry, origin, and tradition. Ethnicity may relate to a geographical territory, world view, custom, ritual, and language (J. Anderson 2010). Ethnicity in a group may become pronounced as a result of migration: ‘in Trinidad and Guyana, Hindus were at the bottom of the social structure…When they migrated to Britain, they were still in an ethnic quandary, with the white British population thinking of them derogatorily as “Paki” (subcontinental Indian)’ (Kong (2001) PHG 25, 2). However, Peach (2000) PHG 24, 4 observes that the minorities in the 1960s to the 1980s which were sometimes compressed into a single ‘black race’ category are now being teased out into their constituent ethnicities, classes, and genders. Whites are also being unpacked from their homogenized categorization: see Shaw (2006) Antipode 38, 4. ‘Transnationalism is transforming the ethnic enclave from being a feature of deprivation in the inner city into affluent closure in the suburbs; ethnic villages of the audible rather than the visible minorities are appearing’ (Simpson et al. (2008) Urb. Studs 45, 1).
