This title was first published in 2000. Patterns of racism and disadvantage vary throughout Britain, yet most British research continues to focus on data from England and Wales. This Scottish study allows distinctions to emerge which contribute to our understanding of the complex processes of discrimination and integration. Looking first at the history of Irish, Jewish and Italian migration to Scotland, attention is then focused on the Pakistani population. Whilst acknowledging the persistence of racism, the author uses original quantitative and qualitative data to examine the ways in which immigrants and their descendants assert their priorities. The book questions whether focusing on minority ethnic groups as victims of racism is the most effective strategy in undermining exclusionary practices.

In 1983 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon celebrated the 50th anniversary of its establishment by a decree of Pope Pius XI. This is a chronological account of those first fifty years. It is set in three parts. The first describes the origins, growth and development and gives some idea how the diocese came to be what it is today. The second shows what its people have done with their lives in various apostolates. And the third provides short accounts of the parishes and missions in which these things have happened.
