Instead, it shows how \u003ci\u003econvivencia\u003c\/i\u003e has been and is indeed always conflict-ridden by scrutinising the relations between cultural diversity and social conflicts and considering why \u003ci\u003esome \u003c\/i\u003esocial conflicts are said to be inherently cultural. It does this through a multi-scalar extended case study of a small town in Northern Catalonia, Spain. Starting from an ethnography, it sheds light on the multiple local-global processes inherent to the social construction of the \"migrant problem\" and its solutions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book analyzes the simultaneously local-global transformation of migration and societies, connecting the local processes of space- and place-making in Salt with the more extensive processes of migration, economic crisis and social transformation, and finally, the responses to these changes from the local society, institutions, and NGOs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work allows for a deeper understanding of the complex web of urban, social, and political transformation in which migration as a phenomenon takes part. Focusing mainly on the interaction between mobility and settlement and the socio-cultural processes at different scales through the vectors of production and reproduction of space, it advances findings on the \"new social question in Europe.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Lundsteen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786614529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786614520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Martin Lundsteen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054325985535,"sku":"9781786614520","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a68783d6-41c7-409a-992e-361b555dae1a.jpg?v=1685029305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/convivencia-martin-lundsteen-9781786614520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
