Immigration, faith and cohesion
Foundation, looks at what factors contribute to, or undermine, community cohesion. It focuses upon three urban areas in England with large migrant and Muslim populations (Newham, Birmingham and Bradford). The report examines the significance of different dimensions of cohesion – including social interaction, participation and belonging – on the lives of Muslims and people of other faiths or of no faith, both recent arrivals and established residents. The report suggests that feeling unwelcome and discrimination reduces migrants’ sense of belonging, rather than an attachment to their country of origin. Some success at integration is attributed to existing Muslim communities who facilitate new arrivals’ integration into wider British society.
