“…Based on the comment by Stephan and Stephan (2000: 544), 'If individuals can freely self-identify, their feelings regarding ethnicity will not be denied', Mukadam (2003) and Mawani (2006) incorporated the statement previously used by Phinney (1992) and Saeed et al (1999), 'In terms of ethnic group, I consider myself to be…. ', into their questionnaires and then determined which strategy of self-categorisation the second-generation Nizari Ismaili Muslims of Gujarati ancestry born/brought up in London or Toronto have incorporated.…”

The article employs a subjective personal approach to show that new racisms are alive in the twenty-first century. Tracing my parents' journey from India and Pakistan to Britain, it explores the political effects of the racism they and their children faced. Locating these reflections in a post-9/11 world, the article describes the turn my academic work has taken in response to media representations of Muslims, and calls for academic research on British Muslim identity to reflect the process of identity-making and its contingencies.

“…The crux of her argument, based on religious identity, suggests Muslims wish to maintain their identity; and any other form of identity that fails to signify and express their belonging to Islam, and solidarity with other Muslims is totally unacceptable to the Muslim Ummah -the global Islamic community of believers that supersedes nationality (Masud 1989;Saeed, Blain and Forbes 1999).…”

Purpose This paper, which is part of a larger study, aims to discuss from an ethno-cultural perspective, the notion of self-identification and difference pertaining to first and second-generation South Asian male entrepreneurs. In essence, previous studies have not explored this dimension to any sufficient depth. Therefore, evidence is unclear as to how ethno-culture has informed entrepreneurial identity and difference. Design/methodology/approach Adopting a phenomenological research paradigm, 42 semi-structured interviews were conducted with first- and second-generation Sikh and Pakistani Muslim male entrepreneurs in Greater London. A typology of second-generation entrepreneurs is developed and a research agenda proposed. Findings First-generation respondents regard the UK as home and do not suffer from shifts in identity. These particular respondents identify themselves as Sikh or Pakistani Muslim or a Businessman. However, the second-generation identify themselves via three distinct labels. Here respondents stress their ethnicity by using Hyphenated British identities or hide their ethnicity behind the term a Normal Businessman, or appear opportunists by using ethnicity as a resource to espouse a true entrepreneurial identity. Research limitations/implications The research environment within the Greater London area where the respondents are located may not be as generalisable when compared with other parts of the UK. Originality/value This paper offers a unique insight into self-prescribed identity and difference noted among London’s ethnic entrepreneurs.
