{"product_id":"exploring-the-transnational-neighbourhood-stephan-ehrig-9789462703483","title":"Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood","description":"\u003cp\u003eUrban neighbourhoods have come to occupy the public imagination as a litmus test of migration, with some areas hailed as multicultural success stories while others are framed as ghettos. In an attempt to break down this dichotomy, \u003cem\u003eExploring the Transnational Neighbourhood\u003c\/em\u003e filters these debates through the lenses of geography, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. By establishing the interdisciplinary concept of the 'transnational neighbourhood', it presents these localities - whether Clichy-sous-Bois, Belfast, El Segundo Barrio or Williamsburg - as densely packed contact zones where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations, producing a constantly shifting local and cultural knowledge about identity, belonging, and familiarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExploring the Transnational Neighbourhood\u003c\/em\u003e offers a pivotal response to one of the key questions of our time: How do people create a sense of community within an exceedingly globalised context? By focusing on the neighbourhood as a central space of transcultural everyday experience within three different levels of discourse (i.e., the virtual, the physical local, and the transnational-global), the multidisciplinary contributions explore bottom-up practices of community-building alongside cultural, social, economic, and historical barriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephan Ehrig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462703485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462703483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.71d","brand":"Stephan Ehrig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130516173055,"sku":"9789462703483","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e68c5e42-627e-44d7-8aef-79a631d6fb8c.jpg?v=1687469791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-the-transnational-neighbourhood-stephan-ehrig-9789462703483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
