“…Reflecting these changes, country of birth figures for Northern Ireland (NI) show that the proportion of the population that was born outside the UK and Ireland rose from 1.5 per cent to 4.5 per cent between 2001 and 2011 (NISRA ). Settlement patterns are uneven and geographic pockets exist across the region (Doyle and McAreavey ). Overall it has no remote rural spaces (OECD ), instead many connections link small urban centres with surrounding rural areas.…”

This article uses data from Australia and Northern Ireland to examine migrants' inclusion in non-metropolitan economies that have limited experience of migration. These places came to our attention in recent decades when the accelerated arrival of migrants presented challenges and opportunities within these so called New Immigration Destinations. We scrutinise migrants' entry into, their participation in, and eventual mobility within, the labour market in these places. Contributing to the literature that challenges a linear concept of integration, social and symbolic boundaries are used to explore how migrants are included or excluded from rural and regional labour markets. We show how the state frames legal boundaries of inclusion and exclusion and how those boundaries are influenced and manipulated by a range of social actors, including private sector agents working within agri-food businesses. We find a misalignment between different scales of social boundaries. At a macro level, migrants may be included in the labour market while in reality they can be excluded through everyday interactions.

“…Yet 'the extent to which migrants are given the legitimacy to participate and contribute to an emerging narrative that goes beyond a divided society is not yet clear' (Doyle and McAreavey 2014) and problems with racism and sectarianism are severely hindering progress. Belfast is rapidly becoming branded the race hate capital of the UK, if not Europe.…”

‘Are you a Catholic Chinese or a Protestant Chinese?’: Belfast's ethnic minorities and the sectarian divide

This paper reflects on the rapidly changing demography of Belfast and the (potential) role of ethnic minorities in facilitating the city's move to a more progressive and pluralistic society. Focusing specifically on two films about the migrant population-Lab Ky Mo's Oranges are Blue (2005) and Stephen Don's Faraway (2013)-it assesses the extent to which increased cultural diversity and alternative identities are complicating the dominant image of Belfast as a paradigmatic 'divided city' (between Catholics and Protestants). The paper also explores the city's alarming problem with racism-the number of racially motivated attacks increased by 30% from 2013 to 2014-as well as ongoing sectarian tensions and the ways in which these severely hinder the ability of migrants to contribute to the reconstruction of the city in imaginative and enlightened ways.
