| Summary/Abstract |
Youths from the Global South migrating for further education often face various forms of discrimination. This Caribbean case study discusses how conditions in the home country can provide a foundation for educational migration that helps the migrants overcome such obstacles and even develop a strong sense of agency and self-empowerment. In the post-WWII period, numerous Caribbean women trained in nursing at British hospitals that have been described as marred by race and gender related inequality and associated forms of exploitation. Yet, the nurses interviewed about this training emphasised its high quality and downplayed the problems encountered. This positive attitude, it is argued, must be understood in the light of the key ideological role of education, particularly for a profession, as an avenue of social and personal mobility in the late-colonial Caribbean societies and the ways in which it enabled these Caribbean women to stake out a new life for themselves.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores explicit and implicit dimensions of identity that Negev Bedouin students position in their life stories. The literature review probes the participants’ historical, cultural and social contexts and presents the critical discourse-oriented perspective adopted in the study to explore identity construction in narrative discourse. Fourteen men and 16 women attending a college of education in southern Israel were asked to write meaningful stories related to various chapters in their lives. Interpretation of explicit themes and silences show that women and men positioned themselves as two separate groups vis-à-vis the male-dominated Bedouin tradition, and the Israeli government.

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on fieldwork carried out in an urban neighbourhood in south-east England, and using a life-story methodology with a focus on intergenerational change over time, I will analyse the housing outcomes of three ethnic categories - the White British majority population, the British-Italian minority and the British-Pakistani minority. Both minority populations are characterised by early moves into owner-occupancy. But where British-Italians typically have moved 'up and out', there has been a British-Pakistani residential consolidation in a 'comfort zone' where overlaying spheres of community and neighbourhood, underpinned by localised practices of cultural consumption, eventually have come to constitute a spatial and social habitus. Though policy discourse often perceives such practices as indicative of self-segregation, I will here argue that there are similarities between the British-Pakistani comfort zone and the memories of a neighbourhood-based white working-class community, articulated by White British residents.
