本文批判性地审视了对差异的利用以及各种政治力量对种族隔离的影响。它通过孟加拉人在伦敦伦敦东区定居的案例历史，考察了外部力量和来自“社区”内部的力量。它评估了不同的，但相互作用，移民立法和资源分配，社区和分离主义政治，民粹主义和多元文化主义的作用，并带来了最新的故事与信仰团体纳入地方治理和穆斯林投票的“反恐战争”的背景下拉拢的帐户。这一理解被认为是消除种族分裂和注重所有种族的社会平等的必要的第一步。
This article takes a critical look at the exploitation of difference and at the impact of political forces of various kinds on ethnic segregation. It examines both external forces and forces from within 'communities' themselves through the case history of Bengali settlement in the East End of London. It assesses the different, though interacting, roles of immigration legislation and resource allocation, community and separatist politics, populism and multiculturalism, and brings the story up to date with an account of the incorporation of faith groups in local governance and of the wooing of the Muslim vote in the context of 'the war on terror'. This understanding is presented as a necessary first step in combating ethnic division and focusing instead on social equality for all ethnicities.
