Dear All,
I would like to share with you the announcement of a new book by *Ayse
Çaglar* and *Nina Glick Schiller*, *Migrants and City-Making:
Dispossession, Displacement, and Urban Regeneration,* published by Duke
University Press. You may find the description, link with access to the
Introduction, and about the authors, below.
*Description*:
In Migrants and City-Making Ayse Çaglar and Nina Glick Schiller trace the
participation of migrants in the unequal networks of power that connect
their lives to regional, national, and global institutions. Grounding their
work in comparative ethnographies of three cities struggling to regain
their former standing—Mardin, Turkey; Manchester, New Hampshire; and
Halle/Saale, Germany—Çaglar and Glick Schiller challenge common assumptions
that migrants exist on society’s periphery, threaten social cohesion, and
require integration. Instead Çaglar and Glick Schiller explore their
multifaceted role as city-makers, including their relationships to
municipal officials, urban developers, political leaders, business owners,
community organizers, and social justice movements. In each city Çaglar and
Glick Schiller met with migrants from around the world; attended cultural
events, meetings, and religious services; and patronized
migrant-owned businesses, allowing them to gain insights into the ways in
which migrants build social relationships with non-migrants and participate
in urban restoration and development. In exploring the changing
historical contingencies within which migrants live and work, Çaglar and
Glick Schiller highlight how city-making invariably involves engaging with
the far-reaching forces that dispossess people of their land, jobs,
resources, neighborhoods, and hope.
