Providing an in-depth understanding of the social, political, and mundane dynamics that keep cities polarized, it examines the potential that moments of inter-ethnic collaboration hold in re-imaging these cities as other than divided. Against the backdrop of normalised practices of ethnic partitioning, the book studies both ‘planned’ and ‘unplanned’ moments of disruption; it looks at how networks of solidarity come into existence regardless of identity politics as well as the role of organised grassroots groups that attempt to create more inclusive; and it critically engages with urban spaces of resistance. Challenging the representation of the city as merely a site of ethnic divisions, the author also explores the complexities arising from living in a city that validates its citizens solely through ethnicity. Elaborating on the relationships between space, culture and social change, this book is a key read for scholars, students, and urban practitioners studying ethnically divided cities worldwide. .The Contemporary City,2634-5463Sociology, UrbanPeaceEthnicityUrban Studies/Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250Conflict Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060Ethnicity Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22180Sociology, Urban.Peace.Ethnicity.Urban Studies/Sociology.Conflict Studies.Ethnicity Studies.949.742Carabelli Giuliaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut855615BOOK9910300588903321The Divided City and the Grassroots1910264UNINA
