Presenting several in-depth studies, this book explores how
super-diversity operates in every-day relations and interactions in
a variety of urban settings in Western Europe and the United
States. The contributors raise a broad range of questions about the
nature and effects of super-diversity. They ask if a quantitative
increase in demographic diversity makes a qualitative difference in
how diversity is experienced in urban neighborhoods, and what are
the consequences of demographic change when people from a wide
range of countries and social backgrounds live together in urban
neighborhoods. The question at the core of the book is to what
extent, and in what contexts, super-diversity leads to either the
normalization of diversity or to added hostility towards and
amongst those in different ethnic, racial, and religious groups. In
cases where there is no particular ethno-racial or religious
majority, are certain long-established groups able to continue to
exert economic and political power, and is this continued economic
and political dominance actually often facilitated by
super-diversity? With contributions from a number of European
countries as well as the USA, this book will be of interest to
researchers studying contemporary migration and ethnic diversity.
It will also spark discussion amongst those focusing on
multiculturalism in urban environments. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
