This open access book discusses Rotterdam as clear example of a
superdiverse city that is only reluctantly coming to terms with
this new reality. Rotterdam, as is true for many post-industrial
cities, has seen a considerable backlash against migration and
diversity: the populist party Leefbaar Rotterdam of the late Pim
Fortuyn is already for many years the largest party in the city. At
the same time Rotterdam has become a majority minority city where
the people of Dutch descent have become a numerical minority
themselves. The book explores how Rotterdam is coming to terms with
superdiversity, by an analysis of its migration history of the
city, the composition of the migrant population and the Dutch
working class population, local politics and by a comparison with
Amsterdam and other cities. As such it contributes to a better
understanding not just of how and why super-diverse cities emerge
but also how and why the reaction to a super-diverse reality can be
so different. By focusing on different aspects of superdiversity,
coming from different angles and various disciplinary backgrounds,
this book will be of interest to students and scholars in
migration, policy sciences, urban studies and urban sociology, as
well as policymakers and the broader public.
