Social exclusion of Chinese people in Britain

Ruby C. M. Chau

Sam W. K. Yu

University of Sheffield

This article examines the social exclusion experienced by Chinese people in Britain. It challenges the view that the problem is caused by the cultural characteristics of the Chinese community. It shows that the main cause lies in their way of seeking social integration through market participation. The necessity for many Chinese families to secure their market position not only keeps them at a distance from mainstream society but also from their own ethnic community. While they are not outsiders in either of these groups, they only have one foot in each of them.

Key Words: social exclusion • social integration • market participation • cultural characteristics
