Synopsis
How do people deal with diversity in deprived and mixed urban neighbourhoods? This edited collection provides a comparative international perspective on superdiversity in cities, with explicit attention given to social inequality and social exclusion on a neighbourhood level. Although public discourses on urban diversity are often negative, this book focuses on how residents actively and creatively come and live together through micro-level interactions. By deliberately taking an international perspective on the daily lives of residents, the book uncovers the ways in which national and local contexts shape living in diversity. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of poverty, segregation and social mix, conviviality, the effects of international migration, urban and neighbourhood policies and governance, multiculturality, social networks, social cohesion, social mobility, and super-diversity.

Newspapers & Magazines
"This book is significant and valuable because it goes beyond conventional debates about migration and urban insecurity. It focuses on the ways in which people live with diversity, moving beyond simply celebrating or bemoaning `multiculturalism'. And it does so with the help of cases drawn from beyond the usual suspects, in and beyond Europe." - Allan Cochrane, The Open University

"This book provides a timely and international comparative analysis of diversity and crucially shows that diversity does not deserve its negative connotation. Everyone concerned about diversity in contemporary cities should read this book." - Maarten van Ham, Delft University of Technology
