“…Virdee (2006), for example, shows that employers' racism and discriminatory practices combine to form one of the main influences on minority group members' position in the class structure; others (Edwards, 2008;Meer & Modood, 2009;Rana, 2007) argue that these practices are based not only on inter-group physical (phenotype) but also on cultural differences. Neither physical appearance nor cultural norms trigger racist and discriminatory practices to the same extent, however; other factors are involved in determining the extent of any labor market penalties.…”

a b s t r a c tMost studies of minority group penalties in the UK labor market have focused on groups classified by their self-assessed ethnicity only, without taking into account major divisions within such groups, notably by religion. Using a large sample taken from the quarterly Labor Force Survey, this paper analyze levels of both unemployment and obtaining posts within the salariat for fourteen separate ethno-religious groups. Estimates of both gross and net penalties are derived, the latter taking the individuals' human capital resources into account. They show that most non-White groups face an employment penalty, but Muslim groups -both men and women -experienced the greatest penalties. These penalties are exacerbated when searching for any job turns into searching for a managerial or a professional job suggesting that inequality is preserved through mechanisms of color and cultural racism which intensifies as minority workers seek jobs at the more lucrative end of the labor market -which, if persistent, could have long-term implications for the cohesion of the UK's multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society.

“…Second, Judaism was deemed inferior, creating a racialized anti‐Judaic sentiment of white supremacy and, more succinctly, white Christian supremacy. This theological perspective provides an account of how race and white supremacy are related to Christian ideas of religion and being, which also led to the historical emergence of the racialization of Islam and Muslims (Bayoumi ; Medovoi ; J. Rana ; Razack ).…”

This article considers how anthropology can grapple with white supremacy by conceptualizing it as global and in relation to religion. Drawing on the exchange published as A Rap on Race between anthropologist Margaret Mead and the writer James Baldwin, I address the connection of religion and moral belief to racism, white supremacy, and the critique of racial liberalism. In their conversation, Mead and Baldwin discuss Christianity and white supremacy revealing a complex conjuring of Islam and Muslims that I describe as racecraft. The racialization of religion and the theological components of white supremacy have a particular relevance to the construction of anti‐Muslim racism. To describe how ethnography and anthropological theory can intervene, I offer an example of the study of white supremacy and discuss the implications.

“…being economically inactive or work part-time) are likely to be affected by individual and family choices and preferences (Boeckmann, Misra andBudig 2014, Crompton andHarris 1998), other labour market outcomes, and surely those that we are analysing here are primarily determined by labour market opportunities and employers' tastes and practices (Darity andMason 1998, Ridgeway 1997). Theoretically, this paper draws on the literature of social exclusion in workplaces and employment discrimination (Andriessen et al 2012, Byron 2010, Reskin, McBrier and Kmec 1999, on notions of cultural and physical boundaries and racialisation (Connor and Koenig 2015, Meer and Modood 2009, Rana 2007 and the theory of intersectionality (Brah andPhoenix 2013, McBride, Hebson andHolgate 2015) in seeking explanations for Muslim women's experience in the British labour market. It argues that minority women's experience in general, and Muslim women's more specifically, is primarily shaped by discriminatory practices in hiring and promotion resulting from the concurrent intersections of ethnicity/race, religion and migration.…”

Full terms of use are available: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/pure/userguides/explore-bristol-research/ebr-terms/ Religion and ethnicity at work: a study of British Muslim women's labour market performance AbstractThe literature on British Muslim women's labour market experience suffers from four lacunae: the inadequate analysis of the multi-layered facets of their identities and the disadvantages they face; the narrow range of labour market outcomes studied (primarily labour market participation and unemployment); a lack of recent studies on the integration of Muslim women, educated in the UK and with English as their first language, into the labour market; and the absence of material on several sub-groups due to the lack of data, notably Arab, Christian Indian and White-British Muslim women. Using a large sample of data from the 2011 British census, the analyses presented here suggest that most Non-White women face significant labour market penalties, with religion having a greater impact on labour market outcomes than race/ethnicity; Muslim women were the most disadvantaged, compared to other religious minorities, more so in relation to unemployment levels, part-time jobs and out of employment history, than in relation to occupational class and overqualification. The results also suggest that the penalties facing Muslim women shaped by their ethnicity; not all Muslim women were similarly disadvantaged.
