dc.description.abstract
Ghettoisation is a politically charged subject, and politicians are often accused of
encouraging racism and ghettoisation by ‘playing the race card’. But it is not just
political parties that may be found to be promoting ethnic separation. There are strong
drives towards separate organisation within different ethnic communities, and
organisational separation can easily manifest itself as physical separation; indeed
sometimes that is an important aim. This paper explores the role of political forces on
the evolution and development of ghettoisation through the example of one of the
most ghettoised immigrant communities in Britain, the Bengali Muslims in Tower
Hamlets, whose families largely immigrated from Sylhet in what is now Bangladesh.
