本文旨在探讨复杂型城市中民族居住模式与城市社会阶层分化特征之间的关系。从1991年英国人口普查的数据进行了分析，以研究在英国莱斯特的主要少数民族是印度裔的两个大制造业城市的社会分工和民族居住的模式，和布拉德福德，它是巴基斯坦。这两个城市都是社会分裂的，至少可以被认为是隐喻性的。但两地、两族的社会分工与族群关系并不相同。这两个城市的巴基斯坦人主要居住在贫困地区。莱斯特的印度人既生活在富裕地区，也生活在贫困地区，一些以印度人为主的住宅区很富裕。作者的结论是，所描述的居住模式是一个复杂的结果的地方效应和种族效应，并指出，在这两个城市观察到的种族居住模式既不支持断言，英国有少数民族聚居区，也没有任何一般帐户的南亚裔少数民族局限于“下层阶级”的立场，在一般的社会秩序。
The author is concerned with exploring the relationship between patterns of ethnic residence in complex' cities and the character of social division in class terms in such cities. Data from the 1991 UK Census are analyzed in order to examine the patterns of social division and ethnic residence in two large manufacturing cities in the United Kingdom-Leicester where the main ethnic minority is of Indian origin, and Bradford where it is Pakistani. Both cities are socially divided and can be considered, at the very least metaphorically, as taking the form. of 'buttertly attractors: but the relationship between social division and ethnicity is not the same either in both places or for both ethnic groups. Pakistanis in both cities are predominantly located in poorer areas. Indians in Leicester live both in affluent and in poorer areas, and some residential areas which are predominantly Indian are affluent. The author concludes that the residential patterns described are a complex resultant of locality effects and ethnicity effects, and notes that observed ethnic residential patterns in both cities support neither the assertion that the United Kingdom has ethnic ghettos nor any general account of ethnic minorities of South Asian origin as confined to 'underclass' positions in the general social order.
