Lived diversities

Lived diversities: Space, place and identities in the multiethnic city is a timely and important book, which focuses on multiethnic interaction in an inner city area. Addressing difficult issues that are often simplistically and negatively portrayed it challenges the stereotypical denigration of inner city life, and Muslim communities in particular. Using wellcrafted historical, political and contextual explanations the book provides a nuanced account of contemporary multiethnic coexistence. This invaluable contribution to our understanding of the politics and practice of multicultural coexistence is a mustread for students and practitioners interested in ethnic diversity, urban policy and the politics of place and space.
