Ruling an empire, governing a multinational state: the impact of Britain's historical legacy on the ethno-racial regime / Mary J. Hickman -- American diversity and the 2000 census / Nathan Glazer -- Four modes of ethno-somatic stratification: the experience of blacks in Europe and the Americas / Orlando Patterson -- Ethnicity as social capital: community-based institutions and embedded networks of social relations / Min Zhou -- Intergeneration mobility and racial inequality in education and earnings / Linda Datcher Loury -- Social integration and social mobility: spatial segregation and intermarriage of the Caribbean population in Britain / Ceri Peach -- Ghettos and the transmission of ethnic capital / David M. Cutler [and others] -- Family formation in multicultural Britain: diversity and changes / Richard Berthoud -- Educational progress for African-Americans and Latinos in the United States from the 1950s to the 1990s: the interaction of ancestry and class / Michael Hout -- The educational attainments of ethnic minorities in Britain / Tariq Modood -- Why America's black-white school achievement gap persists / Ronald F. Ferguson -- Networks and niches: the continuing significance of ethnic connections / Roger Waldinger -- Nonwhite origins, Anglo destinations: immigrants in the USA and Britain / Suzanne Model -- Social mobility of ethnic minorities / Anthony Heath, Dorren McMahon -- Ethnic minorities, employment, self-employment, and social mobility in postwar Britain / Vaughan Robinson, Rina Valeny -- Ethnicity and political mobilization in Britain / Tariq Modood -- Political institutions and minority mobility in the USA / Peter Skerry -- Race, state, and policy: the development of employment discrimination policy in the USA and Britain / Robert Lieberman -- Regime effects: ethnicity, social mobility, and public policy in the USA and Britain / Steven M. Teles, Robert Mickey, Fawzia S. Ahmed -- Race, inequality and justice in the USA: some social-philosophic reflections / Glenn C. Loury -- Achieving racial equality / Bhikhu Parekh.

This major comparative study of the social mobility of ethnic minorities in the US and UK argues that social mobility must be understood as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon, incorporating the wealth and income of groups, but also their political power and social recognition. Written by leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers, and philosophers in both countries, the volume addresses issues as diverse as education, work and employment, residential concentration, political mobilisation, public policy and social networks, while drawing larger lessons about the meaning of race and inequality in the two countries. While finding that there are important similarities in the experience of ethnic, and especially immigrant, groups in the two countries, the volume also concludes that the differences between the US and UK, especially in the case of American blacks, are equally important.
