Status and identity of Pakistanis in the contemporary United Kingdom

Abstract

Cilj rada je prikazati položaj Pakistanaca u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu kroz dvije važne komponente: etničnost (britanska., pakistanska.) i religiju (Islam), te položaj žena (konkretno pakistanskog podrijetla i islamske vjeroispovijesti). Analizira se kako vjera, kao neodvojiv dio “pakistanskog identiteta”, utječe na stavove o identitetu u određenim generacijama. Navedena su područja koja su dominantno naseljavali te njihov utjecaj na kulturni krajolik. Opisane su promjene položaja Pakistanaca u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu nakon terorističkih napada (9/11, 7/7) te uzročno tim napadima i rast islamofobije.The aim of the thesis is to present the position of Pakistanis in the United Kingdom through two important components: ethnicity (British, Pakistani) and religion (Islam), and the position of women (specifically Pakistani origin and Islamic religion).

Areas are indicated that were predominantly inhabited by Pakistanis and their impact on the cultural landscape.
