Routledge Convivialities: Urban Multiculture & Coexistence - Routledge

Explore the critical 'conviviality turn' in how we understand coexistence and urban multiculture in this Routledge collection. Drawing on case studies from the UK, Europe, Australia and Canada, this book examines the everyday practices and dispositions of people negotiating shared life in culturally diverse neighbourhoods. In an era of rising anti-immigrant sentiment and attacks on multiculturalism, this work directly addresses Stuart Hall's argument that the capacity to live with difference remains the pressing issue of our time. Contributors analyse how ordinary residents manage cultural diversity in their communities, offering nuanced insights into the possibilities and ambivalences of contemporary urban living. Essential reading for understanding how multiculturalism functions beyond policy debates, grounded in real-world examples of people building inclusive neighbourhoods across four continents.
