Children's labor participation in family-run ethnic businesses is central to immigrant adaptation, particularly in the context of Chinese families operating take-out shops in Britain. Miri Song explores how children engage in these enterprises and internalize the notion of "helping out" as part of a family work contract. The study delves into the impact of this participation on family dynamics, cultural identity, and the future of the Chinese community in Britain, emphasizing the significance of children's work within the broader immigrant experience in predominantly white societies.

Choosing Ethnic Identity explores the ways in which people are able to choose their ethnic identities in contemporary multiethnic societies such as the USA and Britain. Notions such as adopting an identity, or self--designated terms, such as Black British and Asian American, suggest the importance of agency and choice for individuals. schovat popis
