“…Caribbean communities, like many ethnic minority groups, have experienced racism and discrimination stemming from their colonial and postcolonial pasts (see e.g., Fanon, 1967;Leavy et al, 2004;Phillips and Potter, 2006a,b;Potter and Phillips, 2006). Such racism and discrimination have often infl uenced the economic and social opportunities available to West Indian migrants (Davidson, 1969;Taylor, 1969;Toren, 1976;Cross, 1994;Modood et al, 1997). For example, Caribbean men are among those with the highest rate of unemployment in the UK, the level being three times as high as that of their white counterparts (Offi ce for National Statistics, 2006).…”

This paper forms part of research that is investigating the migration of young Bajan‐Brits to Barbados. Specifically, it explores the role of quality of life issues in the decision‐making processes of young Bajan‐Brits as they negotiate their ‘return’ to Barbados. The research, based on 51 in‐depth qualitative interviews conducted with an under‐researched cohort of young Bajan‐Brits living in Barbados, argues from a ‘lure of home’ conceptualisation that the return of young Bajan‐Brits to Barbados can best be understood from the context of a search for a better quality of life in the face of social and economic disenfranchisement in the UK context. Subsequently, the paper examines the extent to which the quality of life factors which formed the basis of return to Barbados have in fact been realised on the part of young Bajan‐Brits in their adjustment to life in Barbados. The paper ultimately argues that despite problems of adjustment, young Bajan‐Brits have generally been successful in actualising a better quality of life in Barbados.

The winds of political change in Taiwan have begun to breathe. In some areas, turnover within the leadership is substantial and the new incumbents are generally both younger and better educated than their predecessors. While Mainlanders, especially those from the Lower Yangtze Valley, dominate the political system, explicit and not insignificant steps are being taken to increase Taiwanese participation. Changes in the status of Chiang Ching-kuo, eldest son of President Chiang Kai-shek, give further indications of his preparation for eventual supreme leadership. A group of intelligent, well-educated and relatively young technical experts have moved into top leadership positions and are having a substantial impact on policy-making. Against this background, constraints on political dissent continue. This article is an attempt to investigate these trends and analyse their importance for the political system on Taiwan. In order to provide the framework for this discussion, the article begins with a brief introduction to the political setting, the central party and governmental organs.
