Everyday Equalities - Making Multicultures in Settler Colonial Cities (Hardcover, 1)

A timely new look at coexisting without assimilating in
multicultural cities If city life is a “being together of
strangers,” what forms of being together should we strive for in
cities with ethnic and racial diversity? Everyday Equalities seeks
evidence of progressive political alternatives to racialized
inequality that are emerging from everyday encounters in Los
Angeles, Melbourne, Sydney, and Toronto—settler colonial cities
that, established through efforts to dispossess and eliminate
indigenous societies, have been destinations for waves of
immigrants from across the globe ever since. Everyday
Equalities finds such alternatives being developed as people
encounter one another in the process of making a home, earning a
living, moving around the city, and forming collective actions or
communities. Here four leading scholars in critical urban geography
come together to deliver a powerful and cohesive message about the
meaning of equality in contemporary cities. Drawing on both
theoretical reflection and urban ethnographic research, they offer
the formulation “being together in difference as equals” as a
normative frame to reimagine the meaning and pursuit of equality in
today’s urban multicultures. As the examples in Everyday
Equalities indicate, much emotional labor, combined with a
willingness to learn from each other, negotiate across differences,
and agitate for change goes into constructing environments that
foster being together in difference as equals. Importantly, the
authors argue, a commitment to equality is not only a hope for a
future city but also a way of being together in the present.
