Do people make friends with those who are culturally and socially
different to themselves? Friendship and Diversity explores the
social relationships of adults and children living in highly
diverse localities in London. The authors examine how social class
and ethnic difference affects the friendships of children in
primary schools and their parents. The book draws on original and
in-depth conversations 8 and 9 year olds about their classroom
relationships, with parents about their own and their children's
friendships, and with teachers about supporting children's
friendships at school. Through detailed discussions of friendships,
everyday multiculture, and attitudes towards shared social space,
cultural difference and social class, the authors reveal what these
friendships tell us about the nature and extent of social mixing
and social divisions in cities with diverse populations. Friendship
and Diversity will be of interest to students and scholars across a
range of disciplines, including sociology, geography and
psychology, as well as education practitioners.
