Summary, etc. This book deals with ethnicity in the<br/>workplace, illustrating the ways in<br/>which particular groups of people<br/>organise their working lives, the<br/>symbols by which they identify with<br/>their work and with each other, and<br/>the particular constraints to which<br/>each must adapt. The editor's<br/>introduction provides a framework<br/>for the ten original papers.<br/><br/>Each of the first five case studies<br/>focuses on a single ethnic group -<br/>English Gypsies, British Jews,<br/>Macedonians in Toronto's restaurant<br/>trade, Punjabis in British steel<br/>foundries and South Asian women in<br/>London. Each case demonstrates the<br/>extent to which the meaning and effect<br/>of ethnicity are specific to the context<br/>in which they are expressed. The book<br/>therefore moves away from the<br/>conventional view of ethnicity as a<br/>single and consistent identity with<br/>which the individual is fixed by birth<br/>or upbringing. It proposes instead that<br/>ethnicity is one of a cluster of identity<br/>options whose value is enhanced in<br/>some circumstances and denied in<br/>others.<br/><br/>The second set of papers focuses on<br/>the formal structure of various kinds<br/>of work and examines the scope each<br/>offers to 'informal' systems of<br/>organisation. Four specific work<br/>structures are explored: a local<br/>government bureaucracy; a multi-<br/>activity industrial company; an<br/>individualistic business enterprise; and<br/>the casual labour market. The final<br/>chapter argues how complementary<br/>are formal and informal organisations.<br/>Together, the five papers underline<br/>the dynamics of opportunity and<br/>constraint by which systems of work<br/>and ethnicity are bounded
