Multicultural Cities weaves together rigorous scholarship and engaging narratives of multicultural integration and assimilation. This book should be required reading for urban planners worldwide, because the tensions and promises of the multicultural city are becoming apparent not only in the Global North but also in the emerging economies of the Global South.
Multicultural Cities is superbly written with clear and accessible language as well as well-constructed arguments. This work will prove engaging for students, policy makers, and the public at large who want to understand what multiculturalism is.
From the urban economy and geographic landscape to political incorporation and cultural patterns, Multicultural Cities offers insights into the ways urban institutions and structures are evolving and cultural differences are negotiated in three ethnically and racially diverse North American immigrant gateway cities: Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto.
