Mixed sociability and the growth of mixed African-Caribbean and white British families in London

The three ethnographic chapters have so far focused on particular extended families, highlighting the main themes of the book. However, in general, the accounts of people in my research conveyed a variety of experiences. Thus, in these next two chapters, the ethnography will explore more generally the social contexts in which these families emerged, as well as the ongoing modifications and negotiations through which they have responded to changing circumstances, both within the families and in the wider society.
