Synopsis of a special issue of Identities. Global Studies in Power and Culture entitled 'Ethnography, diversity, and urban change' co-edited by Mette Louise Berg, Ben Gidley, and Nando Sigona: http://nandosigona.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/the-diversity-turn/
It looks interesting, but I wonder how valid the conclusions are.
For instance, Nando Sigona refers to "a new arena for diversity, namely the provincial English city of Peterborough" as if that urban area was a haunt of ancient peace like Winchester or Salisbury instead of being a planned New Town with complex social problems (indeed, social problems that result from the original New Town planning).
I wonder if the authors of this section (Ben Rogaly and Kaveri Qureshi) bothered to talk to Stewart Jackson MP?
