The arts and sciences evolve by specialisation and broadening of their scopes. Much innovation results from unusual combinations of views and techniques originating in widely different domains. However, stepping outside an established discipline entails the danger of 'shallowness', even if the primary challenge was a 'deep' integration problem. Acceptance of new departures requires recognition and understanding of what is involved, and this depends, among other things, on the adopted nomenclature of the insiders and the resulting perception by outsiders.Thus, current ways of referring to varieties of research and study - say, 'sciences' vs 'humanities' - often form obstacles to the appreciation of novel approaches. New views are necessary. But which angles must be considered?

Review:
-Debates about ethnic segregation need to be informed by careful analysis such as this. It is too easy to assume that some groups want to live separately from others, and that younger generations will simply follow the behaviours of their elders. This book shows that the reality for Asians in British cities is much more complex and interesting than 'conventional wisdom' often assumes.�[-]-- Ade Kearns, Professor of Urban Studies, University of Glasgow[-][-] - -This book offers rich insights into the processes of ethnic suburbanisation and integration amongst Glasgow's South Asian population and has important implications for understanding the dynamics of ethnic residential change.�[-]-- Deborah Phillips, Reader in Ethnic and Racial Studies, University of Leeds
