While Convivencia is a specific historical term that has come to represent an idea of peaceful coexistence Convivencia Urban Space and Migration in a Small Catalan Town complicates this simplistic vision. Instead it shows how convivencia has been and is indeed always conflictridden by scrutinising the relations between cultural diversity and social conflicts and considering why some social conflicts are said to be inherently cultural. It does this through a multiscalar extended case study of a small town in Northern Catalonia Spain. Starting from an ethnography it sheds light on the multiple localglobal processes inherent to the social construction of the ampldquomigrant problemamprdquo and its solutions.The book analyzes the simultaneously localglobal transformation of migration and societies connecting the local processes of space and placemaking in Salt with the more extensive processes of migration economic crisis and social transformation and finally the responses to these changes from the local society institutions and NGOs.This work allows for a deeper understanding of the complex web of urban social and political transformation in which migration as a phenomenon takes part. Focusing mainly on the interaction between mobility and settlement and the sociocultural processes at different scales through the vectors of production and reproduction of space it advances findings on the ampldquonew social question in Europe.amprdquo
