Valuing the 'neighbourhood': Responding to Racialised Post-War Development in Slave Island, Colombo

This article explores how Slave Island, a neighbourhood in Colombo, Sri Lanka, responds to upheaval in a context of post-war urban transformation that masks undertones of racialisation. Through life histories of Slave Island’s multigenerational residents, we offer fresh insights into how communities navigate the uncertainty and disruption of evictions, where besides material and economic infrastructure, communities repurpose differences and commonalities built on lineage and place-memory, to (re)negotiate their ‘borders’ as they interact with ‘outsiders’. By adapting the internal and external boundaries of their community and its members, they find creative methods of positioning themselves to access development dividends in how they understand and utilise notions of ‘value’—instrumental, commercial and intrinsic. In this way, we show that raced interventions are not simply experienced as subordination but are repurposed transactionally by affected communities for negotiating their agentive power over distribution of development dividends.

An ethnic group specific deprivation index for measuring neighbourhood inequalities in England and Wales

The measurement of deprivation for small areas in the UK has provided the basis for the development of policies and targeting of resources aimed at reducing spatial inequalities. Most measures summarise the aggregate level of deprivation across all people in a given area, and no account is taken of differences between people with differing characteristics, such as age, sex or ethnic group. In recognition of the marked inequalities between ethnic groups in the UK, and the distinctive geographies of these inequalities, this paper presents a new ethnic group‐specific neighbourhood deprivation measure—the Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (EGDI). This index, using a custom cross‐tabulated 2021 Census dataset on employment, housing tenure, education and health by ethnic group, reveals the small area geographies of ethnic inequalities that have to date received scant attention, and yet have profound impacts on life chances and well‐being. Drawing on the methodological framework of the widely used English Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) and for the same geographies (Lower Layer Super Output Areas), the EGDI measures deprivation for each ethnic group using data from the 2021 Census of England and Wales. The EGDI reveals the complex geographies of ethnic inequality and demonstrates that while one ethnic group in a neighbourhood may have high relative levels of deprivation, another ethnic group in that same neighbourhood may experience very low relative levels. The EGDI explores ethnic inequalities within and between neighbourhoods, complementing and augmenting existing measures by offering an important means of better understanding ethnic inequalities. The EGDI can be used to help shape locally and culturally sensitive policy development and resource allocation.

The article presents the results of the author’s research concerning the place and characteristics of structural conflict in the functioning of the Polish migrant community in the UK. The backdrop for the analyzed phenomenon was post-accession migrations. Giving rise to phenomena and processes significant to the development of social structure, they constitute one of the critical factors in social change. The study used qualitative analysis to identify which of the analyzed social areas generated structural conflicts in the investigated environment. Structural conflict, in its many dimensions, was present not only between migrants and the host society, but also between migrants from different countries and between migrants from the same diaspora. This called into question the previously prevalent belief about the cohesion of the migrant community. The present study may serve as a point of departure for further explorations concerning issues such as structural barriers in a multinational society.
