TY  - CHAP
AB  - This chapter considers social adjustment and psychiatric disorders amongst Afro-Caribbean children and adolescents in the UK. The British Isles have received waves of immigrants, including non-White immigrants for hundreds of years. By the latter part of the eighteenth century there were 30,000 Black people in Britain. However the Second World War created a demand for men for the British armed forces and war industries. Many aspects of family organisation in the Caribbean have been outlined elsewhere. Changes in family life are likely to take place due to migration. During the early years families will have experienced the stress of separationif parents came to the UK ahead of their children. Children themselves may have experienced migration. Nevertheless, Afro-Caribbean family organisation within the UK shows both similarities and differences with that of White British families. The Afro-Caribbean community in the UK has faced economic hardship, adversity and racial discrimination, apparent in patterns of employment and housing.
