(ISBN

The book ‘Superdiversity in the Heart of Europe: how migration changes our society’
portrays the transition towards superdiversity in Belgium, especially in cities as Brussels and Antwerp, and outlines the challenges.
This book moves the beacons of the stranded ideological debate about the whether-or-not desirability of a multicultural society.
Superdiversity in the Heart of Europe describes why the us versus them mentality is outdated. It focuses on the importance of transnational families, who live across borders. It describes the transition to multilingual cities, and shows how much we
need new ways of dealing with complexities and diversities of the current society. The book gives a synthesis of contemporary research on diversity in the heart of Europe. It is a step to the necessary normalization of superdiversity that we now need so badly
in our society.
With kind regards,
Dr. Dirk Geldof
