Abstract
This chapter explores respondents’ motives for migrating and how they settled in a foreign country, referencing relevant texts from migration studies and, in particular, the seminal work by Pryce about West Indian immigrant life in Bristol (1979). It also includes respondents’ education, employment and immigration status in the UK. It is within these frameworks that their initial lived experiences in the UK can be understood.
