Abstract
This chapter looks at changes in the Chinese community resulting from adaptations and reactions to living in Britain as an ethnic minority. It deals with four main issues — Chinese ethnic identity and its transformations; the evolution of ethnic-Chinese culture; the community and the British education system; and Chinese employment patterns. Its main focus is on the second generation.
