Migration, Urbanity and Cosmopolitanism in a Globalized World: IMISCOE Research Series

Editat de Catherine Lejeune, Delphine Pagès-El Karoui, Camille Schmoll, Hélène Thiollet

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 mai 2021

This open access book draws a theoretically productive triangle between urban studies, theories of cosmopolitanism, and migration studies in a global context. It provides a unique, encompassing and situated view on the various relations between cosmopolitanism and urbanity in the contemporary world. Drawing on a variety of cities in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, it overcomes the Eurocentric bias that has marked debate on cosmopolitanism from its inception. The contributions highlight the crucial role of migrants as actors of urban change and targets of urban policies, thus reconciling empirical and normative approaches to cosmopolitanism. By addressing issues such as cosmopolitanism and urban geographies of power, locations and temporalities of subaltern cosmopolites, political meanings and effects of cosmopolitan practices and discourses in urban contexts, it revisits contemporary debates on superdiversity, urban stratification and local incorporation, and assess the role of migration and mobility in globalization and social change.

Notă biografică

Catherine Lejeune is associate professor of American studies at Université de Paris, France. She holds a PhD in Ethnic and Migration studies from Paris Diderot University. Her interests include US immigration law and policy. She explores the ways in which local actors in US cities respond to immigration and she investigates the emergence of “local-level” policy-making in the absence of national immigration reform. While her recent research lied with the determinants of irregular migration in a comparative perspective (USA-Europe), her current interests lie with undocumented migrants in global cities, primarily US immigrant youths, their lives as almost ordinary city residents in a highly diverse context and as emergent political subjects.
