Official policy supports the dispersal of coloured immigrants from inner city areas, but this orthodoxy has been challenged from a number of directions and an alternative strategy of ‘enrichment’ has been proposed. These two policies are discussed in the context of present patterns of dispersal and concentration in Britain, with especial emphasis placed on the factor of choice by members of the coloured minorities. While the majority will opt for the ‘comfortable solution’ in the inner city, official policy will have to maximise the opportunities for those who wish to move away.

We study how the local concentration of ethnic minorities relates to natives’ likelihood of out-migration in the capital of Denmark. In US studies, a high or increasing proportion of racial or ethnicminorities in inner city neighborhoods is seen as the prime motivation for ‘white flight;’ Whitemiddle-class families moving towards racially and ethnically homogeneous suburbs. The relativelyegalitarian Scandinavian setting offers a contrasting case, where inner cities are less deprived, andwhere minority groups primarily consist of immigrants and children of immigrants that have arrivedover the past few decades. Using rich, population-wide, longitudinal administrative data over atwelve-year period, linked to exact coordinates on places of residence, we document how thegeographical distribution of minorities within Copenhagen relates to native out-migration. Weobserve increasing out-migration among the native majority population from areas with high andincreasing minority concentrations, largely supporting the hypothesis of a ‘native flight’ mobilitypattern.

The City

The topic of urban agriculture has, for a significant period of time, been recognized as a key facet of urban survival in the cities in the South. While it normally forms part of multilivelihood strategies and its overall significance is the subject of some debate, it nonetheless is an important feature of both urban landscapes and urban survival. This paper examines the current status quo of urban agriculture in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Structural adjustment and downscaling of the key copper mining sector seems to have forced more people into various informal survival strategies, including urban agriculture. Despite the apparent growing significance of urban agriculture, as illustrated by significant recent vegetation clearances around the city, official policy remains ambivalent and it has not been adequately supported or catered for in urban planning. While it remains officially illegal, controls are seldom enforced and urban farmers persist with what is a key household survival strategy under trying circumstances.

During the last three years, extensive academic as well as public discussions of national minorities’ rights have taken place in Poland. Scholars can be roughly divided into a pro-national minorities rights group and an anti-national minorities rights group. Some strive to reconcile these two disparate positions. Similar groups can be found in the Sejm (Polish Parliament) which has been discussing the draft of a law on national minorities since Autumn 1993. This brief article investigates the situation of national minorities in Poland ever since a “specific” policy towards ethnic minorities was carried out in Poland by communist governments (though it focuses primarily on the German minority). It also reviews changes in the official policy of the Polish government, the Sejm, and assesses the prospects for the adoption of a Minorities Law, by discussing the major arguments of those groups proposing national minorities rights and those of its opponents.

Future Work

Concern among black and ethnic minorities with current research in ‘transcultural psychiatry’ entails future work taking into account their collaboration to minimise the possibility that it is prejudicial to their interests. An instance is given of a project initiated by black community groups which looks at psychiatric conceptualisations of a diagnosis commonly used locally in inner-city Birmingham: cannabis psychosis. Responsibility remains with the researcher.
