Reviews for Lived Diversities: Space, Place and Identities in the Multi-Ethnic City
A fascinating and revealing account of the micro-interactions of life in a contemporary British community. It is a very timely discussion which should help to challenge simplistic stereotypes of multiculturalism `failing', urban decline and interethnic conflict. Dr Caroline Howarth, LSE Successfully explores the concept of co-existence within a contemporary multi-ethnic urban specific space...multiple authors contest deficit discoursesregarding diversity in Britain. Sociological Imagination Lived diversities is a suggestive, richly textured study of everyday urban multiculture. Its engagement with issues of conflict, conviviality and banal civility will reward and challenge researchers and practitioners working through the implications of diversity for contemporary conceptions of citizenship. Therese O'Toole, University of Bristol Husband et al's fine-grained study provides a necessary and compelling response to the corrosive but durable stereotypes of Bradford that have been circulated over the last years. Dr Gavan Titley, National University of Ireland An intelligent and lively contribution to the critique of `social cohesion' discourse in the policy sector. It provides a vivid analysis of local Bradford street life, where cars, buildings and sounds play an integral social, cultural and political role. Prof John Eade, University of Roehampton
