Everyday Globalization is a micro-sociological study of immigrant
neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Paris. Global flows of people bring
together cultural practices from distant places and urban dwellers
in global cities interpret the signs of collective identity in
ascribing particular places as "immigrant neighborhoods." This book
examines the spatial semiotics of identity in urban public space
that make this possible. Unlike other studies of globalization and
cities, this work brings together research on the social psychology
of groups, linguistic landscapes, and quotidian mobility to explain
how urban dwellers encounter cultural differences. Signs of social
identity are always interpreted in the context of group boundaries
and the appropriation of public space. The breadth of this analysis
contributes to the literature in human geography on the
meaningfulness of places. This book will also be of interest to
scholars and students in visual sociology. In addition, this
research demonstrates an innovative method for studying everyday
urban experience.
