Resumen
This is a book about social change in European cities as brought about by interna-
tional migration. Among the many aspects of such long and complex waves of
transformations what interests us in particular is how relations are structured and
how they evolve in different and increasingly diverse local societies. The main
research questions addressed in this book are thus the following ones: why do
origin- based categories emerge much more clearly and powerfully as practical and
symbolical boundaries in certain local contexts rather than in others within the same
national and regional space or even within the same city? How much do urban con-
texts count in shaping inter-group relations and specifi cally in making ethnic cate-
gories more or less salient?
