This open access book presents a comparative analysis of intergroup
relations and migrant integration at the neighbourhood level in
Europe. Featuring a unique collection of portraits of urban
relations between the majority population and immigrant minorities,
it examines how relations are structured and evolve in different
and increasingly diverse local societies. Inside, readers will find
a coordinated set of ethnographic studies conducted in eleven
neighbourhoods of five European cities: London, Barcelona,
Budapest, Nuremberg, and Turin. The wide-ranging coverage
encompasses post-industrial districts struggling to counter
decline, vibrant super-diverse areas, and everything in between.
Featuring highly contextualised, cross-disciplinary explorations
presented within a solid comparative framework, this book considers
such questions as: Why does the native-immigrant split become a
tense boundary in some neighbourhoods of some European cities but
not in others? To what extent are ethnically framed conflicts
driven by site-specific factors or instead by broader, exogenous
ones? How much does the structure of urban spaces count in fuelling
inter-ethnic tensions and what can local policy communities do to
prevent this? The answers it provides are based on a multi-layer
approach which combines in-depth analysis of intergroup relations
with a strong attention towards everyday categorization processes,
media representations, and narratives on which local policies are
based. Even though the relations between the majority and migrant
minorities are a central topic, the volume also offers readers a
broader perspective of social and urban transformation in
contemporary urban settings. It provides insightful research on
migration and urban studies as well as social dynamics that
scholars and students around the world will find relevant. In
addition, policy makers will find evidence-based and practically
relevant lessons for the governance of increasingly diverse and
mobile societies.
