Cities, Diversity and Ethnicity: Politics, Governance and Participation

This volume discusses the question of cities, ethnicity and diversity, and will be of interest to those concerned with better understanding the transformation of urban communities. It provides important insights into shifting patterns of community and identity in increasingly diverse neighbourhoods. Contributions cover the role which street markets play in diverse neighbourhoods, everyday multiculture in a specific street, the role of community and hometown associations among migrant communities, expressions of ethnicity in urban neighbourhoods, and the changing dynamics of integration and community cohesion. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
