This book explores the ways in which residents of deprived and mixed neighborhoods live with diversity, and the active and creative ways in which diversity is micro-regulated. Though diversity can frequently lead to tension and conflict, residents tend to look for--and often find--ways to address those conflicts on a day-to-day basis. Offering case studies from cities around the world, the book also shows how national and local contexts shape living in diversity.
