Ethnic and national identities of 11-16-year-old British Africans and Caribbeans were examined. Adolescents ranked ethnicity as more important than age, gender or nationality, stereotyped Caribbeans/Africans more positively than British and derived more pride from ethnicity than nationality. England was the least popular answer to 'where are you from', but more Caribbeans versus Africans chose this category and older Caribbeans described themselves as more 'British' than older Africans.
Presents an account of African Caribbean men and women's beliefs and perceptions about the barriers of practicing a healthy lifestyle, focusing specifically on the effects of social exclusion, racism and ethnic identity.
