“…Comparing this conclusion to research on other audiences among the Indian diaspora (Gillespie 1995, Hansen 2005, Brosius 2005, and others) the apparent diversity in viewing experiences is striking. These empirical studies, which were done on the brink of diaspora theory and ethnographic audience research, provide an important contribution to diaspora studies.…”

“…Ethnicity (taken from the Greek -ethnos) implies several dimensions which include a sense of common customs, language, religion, values, morality, and etiquette (Betancourt and Lopez, 1993;Webster, 1994;Gillespie 1995). In simple terms, ethnicity can be viewed as a characteristic of racial group membership on the basis of commonly shared features (Jamal and Chapman, 2000).…”

“…Thus, cultural identity espouses culture as the source of belonging and continuity. Some authors suggest that although a minimal amount of culture is required for ethnic identification, cultural identity is not necessarily intertwined with ethnic identity (Gillespie 1995;Roosens 1995;Jamal and Chapman 2000;Phinney 1996b). Roosens (1995) argues that the field of cultural identification may be much broader than that of ethnic identification.…”

“…It is reinvented and reinterpreted in each generation to become the product of a collective transformation. It may also be regarded as a symbolic force with the power to affirm identities and mobilise populations positively (Gillespie, 1995;Roosens, 1995). Certain group characteristics and cultural traits are often used to imply racial differences, cultural differences, social separation, distinguishing dress, religion, language barriers, spontaneous, and organised enmity (Gillespie 1995;Roosens 1995;Phinney 1996b;Jamal and Chapman 2000).…”

Thus, as members of an ethnic group interact with each other, ethnicity becomes a means by which culture is transmitted (Betancourt and López 1993); as in the case where group affiliation is perceived as a condition of (i) privilege versus discrimination, or (ii) economic/political superiority versus inferiority (Betancourt and López 1993).…”

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.

IntroductionThe first years of the new millennium seems like an appropriate moment to suggest that a more nuanced engagement with the term "globalization" -as a means of understanding recent developments in the field of television -is increasingly called for. Hence, for example, as against those who would claim the irresistible and inevitable onset of worldwide interconnection in such areas as economics and culture, recent attention paid by television researchers to geolinguistic regions, "cultural continents," as significant mediators of such linkages gives pause to a term such as "globalization" as an accurate description of recent developments (cf. ). Similarly, we would argue that an understanding of the specific historical trajectory of the institution that is television along the lines developed here will also give pause to easy generalizations about planetary developments in the present.Thus, we would suggest that over the course of the past 10 to 15 years or so, television in many parts of the world finds itself in a new period or era that is marked off from earlier configurations of the institution (cf.
