In Migrants and City-Making Ayse Caglar and Nina Glick Schiller
trace the participation of migrants in the unequal networks of
power that connect their lives to regional, national, and global
institutions. Grounding their work in comparative ethnographies of
three cities struggling to regain their former standing-Mardin,
Turkey; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Halle/Saale, Germany-Caglar
and Glick Schiller challenge common assumptions that migrants exist
on society's periphery, threaten social cohesion, and require
integration. Instead Caglar and Glick Schiller explore their
multifaceted role as city-makers, including their relationships to
municipal officials, urban developers, political leaders, business
owners, community organizers, and social justice movements. In each
city Caglar and Glick Schiller met with migrants from around the
world; attended cultural events, meetings, and religious services;
and patronized migrant-owned businesses, allowing them to gain
insights into the ways in which migrants build social relationships
with non-migrants and participate in urban restoration and
development. In exploring the changing historical contingencies
within which migrants live and work, Caglar and Glick Schiller
highlight how city-making invariably involves engaging with the
far-reaching forces that dispossess people of their land, jobs,
resources, neighborhoods, and hope.
