C131mIn Migrants and City-Making Ay?e Ça?lar and Nina Glick Schiller trace the participation of migrants in the unequal networks of power that connect their lives to regional, national, and global institutions. Grounding their work in comparative ethnographies of three cities struggling to regain their former standing ? Mardin, Turkey; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Halle/Saale, Germany ? Ça?lar and Glick Schiller challenge common assumptions that migrants exist on society?s periphery, threaten social cohesion, and require integration. Instead Ça?lar and Glick Schiller explore their multifaceted role as city-makers, including their relationships to municipal officials, urban developers, political leaders, business owners, community organizers, and social justice movements.
