We live in a time of rising anti-immigrant fervour and attacks on
multiculturalism. As Stuart Hall argued over twenty years ago, the
capacity to live with difference is the pressing issue of our time.
This is true perhaps now more than ever. This collection takes a
critical look at the 'conviviality turn' in our understanding of
coexistence and urban multiculture. Drawing on case studies out of
the UK, Europe, Australia and Canada, contributors to this
collection explore the practices and dispositions of everyday
people who negotiate a 'shared life' in their culturally diverse
neighbourhoods and communities, and the complexities and
ambivalences that make up 'living together'. Chapters focus on
spaces of encounter, navigations of friendship and humour across
difference, and the networks of hope and care that exist alongside
experiences of racism. A theme of the book is that we live neither
in a world where convivial multiculture has been accomplished nor
one where it has been lost: it is, as it must be, a work in
progress. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Intercultural Studies.
