Susanne Wessendorf: Commonplace Diversity: Social Relations in a
Super-Diverse Context (Palgrave Macmillan)
Urban areas in the UK and beyond have seen significant changes in patterns
of immigration, leading to profound diversification. This diversification is
characterized by the multiplication of people of different national origins,
but also differentiations regarding migration histories, religions,
educational backgrounds, legal statuses and socio-economic backgrounds. How
has this diversification of diversity, also described as 'super-diversity',
impacted on social life on the local level? How do people get along in a
context where almost everybody comes from elsewhere? This book presents an
in-depth study of super-diversity on the local level. Drawing on
ethnographic fieldwork in the London Borough of Hackney, the book shows that
diversity in this context has become commonplace. Rather than experiencing
it as something particularly unusual, local residents see diversity as
normal part of everyday life. The book presents a vivid account of the daily
doings and social relations among Hackney's residents and how they
pragmatically negotiate difference in their everyday lives.
