ABSTRACT
The main protagonists in our study are the children, possibly the grandchildren of labour migrants who came from the Caribbean to the UK after World War Two. The focus of study is the consequences of migration involving the interaction between those groups and the majority society, in their process of settlement. In the UK they are commonly designated as ethnic minority groups. Where young people are concerned who were bom and brought up in the reception country of their parents, an additional set of questions is raised which have their own specificity. This chapter examines a few dimensions of ethnicity and the formation of ethnic groups; this includes debates about the contemporariness of these concepts for young people of immigrant origin.
