Aye - in was for you Azizi. I thought speaking to a number of black people actualy living here would give you more information that books but I can see that a general investigation could provide a better overall background. Whatever happens at least you are taking the trouble to discover for yourself - more than lots of people do - and that a good basis for understanding other people. And eliminating assumptions of course. Now, where can I get a book on learning about academic research...:-)

Good luck and cheers
