"South Asians" is usually an inclusive term to refer to ethnic minorities originating from countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Despite the apparent concern with “South Asians” in Hong Kong society in recent years, such as pushing for legislation against racial discrimination and initiating social and educational programmes to help these minorities to better integrate into Hong Kong society, attention to irreducible cultural differences constituting their heterogeneity is still largely lacking. The thesis intends to take up the question of the South Asian minorities in the context of post-1997 Hong Kong. By looking at their everyday struggles in political, linguistic and cultural realms, the thesis tries to understand three key questions - first, how “South Asians” as a minority assert their political and democratic rights and practice their citizenship in the socio-political realm; second, how the cultural identities of ethnic minority children in their formative years are shaped by the tensions between the formal institutional schooling and language policies on the one hand, and traditions, religions, customs and bonding of neighborhood living in their communities on the other hand; third, how “South Asians” are portrayed as the other in the mainstream representation such as cinema and newspapers, despite the rising awareness against discrimination. The thesis seeks to challenge the ways mainstream Hong Kong Chinese represent these minorities and critique the deep cultural bias of racism and discrimination that prevent the fundamental opening up to the heterogeneity of the Other.

The purpose of this research focuses on French fashion magazines for women to analyse the advertisement of ethnic women for cosmetic products during two months. The goal of this research is to find out if ethnic groups are represented in these cosmetic’s ads. Then, when ethnic groups are represented, are they associated with ethnocosmetics (specialized products) or generalist product.

Den omfattande migrationen till och från Sverige har ökat intresset för etniska relationer i rikspolitiken, regionpolitiken, kommunalpolitiken, samhällsplaneringen och inte minst forskningen. De senaste årtiondena har forskningen om etnicitet – och om integrationen – vuxit såväl i omfattning som bredd och djup. Aktuell kunskap kan tillföra diskussionen om integrationen nya perspektiv. Forskning om samhällsplaneringen och förhållandena i de så kallade utanförskapsområdena analyserar problemen och diskuterar möjligheterna att hantera dem. Ett av målen med 2008 års symposium var att öka kontakterna mellan forskare och arkitekter samt företrädare för byggföretag, bostadsbolag, bostadskonsumenter, samhälls- och bostadsplanerare inom stat, landsting och kommuner så att forskningsresultaten bättre kan tas tillvara och forskarna stimuleras till nya uppgifter. Vid Vadstena forum medverkade tretton forskare från skilda discipliner och institutioner. Deras uppsatser låg till grund för diskussionerna. Efter symposiet har forskarna haft tillfälle att utnyttja diskussionerna vid symposiet och vidareutveckla sina uppsatser. De uppsatser som presenteras i denna bok utgör därigenom också en dokumentation av symposiet. Bidrag till finansiering av forskarinsatserna under Symposium 2008 har lämnats av Linköpings universitet, Forskningsrådet för arbetsliv och socialvetenskap (Fas), Forskningsrådet för miljö, areella näringar och samhällsbyggande (Formas) och Boverket.
