This edited collection brings together academics, artists and
members of civil society organizations to engage in a discussion
about the ideas of living with others, through concepts such as
cosmopolitanism, solidarity, and conviviality, and the practices of
doing so. In recent years, right wing and populist movements have
emerged and strengthened across Europe and North America, rejecting
the value of cultural, ethnic and religious plurality. Governments
in Europe and North America are weakening their commitment to the
international refugee regime, erecting new barriers to entry. Even
as governments fail to accommodate growing pluralism, however,
civil society initiatives have emerged with the aim of welcoming
newcomers, such as migrants and refugees, and finding alternative
ways of living together in diverse societies. Motivated by a desire
to show solidarity, these initiatives demonstrate enormous
creativity in fostering pluralism in an environment that has
largely become hostile to the arrival of newcomers. The
contributions gathered here seek to explore such initiatives and
the important work that they do in fostering ways of living
together with others from diverse cultural and religious
backgrounds. In focusing conceptually and empirically on
discussions and examples of civil society initiatives, this book
interrogates why, how and under what circumstances are some
communities more welcoming than others.
