Learning to engage with difference in a majority-minority primary school
Navigating Social Boundaries and Belonging: People Without Migration Background in Majority–Minority Cities
This editorial introduces the articles in this thematic issue, which revolves around the ERC Advanced research project Becoming a Minority (BaM), carried out between 2018 and 2023. The aim of the project was to understand how people without a migration background think about and live in diversity. Through this aim, the BaM project has tried to advance our thinking about the concept of integration
Revisiting the established-outsider constellation in a gentrifying majority-minority neighbourhood
The phenomenon of majority-minority cities refers to increasingly ethnically diverse neighbourhoods where everybody belongs to a minority group.Simultaneously, another phenomenon parallels this majority-minority formation and that is gentrification, leading to an inflow of white middle-class residents into neighbourhoods which were previously predominantly occupied by residents with a migration background. Neighbourhoods that 30 years ago experie…
How do people without migration background experience and impact today's superdiverse cities
For over forty years researchers have studied the integration of migrants and their descendants in Western European cities. In the meantime, many of these cities have become majority minority cities, hence, cities in which an ethnic numerical majority no longer exists. This raises the question how the old majority group, the people of native descent, participates in and relates to these superdiverse cities. In this special issue, we raise long ov…
Micro labour, ambivalence and discomfort: How People Without a Migration Background Strategically Engage With Difference in a Majority-Minority Neighbourhood
In contemporary West European cities, people without migration background are increasingly faced with a new demographic reality in which they have become a numerical minority in the neighbourhood. This majority-minority make-up calls for an understanding of how people without migration background partake in the reciprocal practice of ‘living together with difference’, within this new reality. Drawing on interviews conducted in Amsterdam, we show …
Superdiversity, Young People, and Education
This chapter addresses the experiences and realities of young people who are studying in increasingly “superdiverse” educational institutions. It first provides a brief overview of the workings of superdiversity in the field of education, and then presents two case studies from two majority-minority cities in the Netherlands to illustrate how the concept of superdiversity can be used to overcome the homogenizing perspective that lumps students wi…
Urban Space and Social Cognition: The Effect of Urban Space on Intergroup Perceptions
Cities and neighborhoods are key sites of migration-related diversity. Differences in lifestyle, class, ethnicity, or religion become visible in urban spaces, such as neighborhood bars, shops, or cafes. This article applies a social cognitive approach to explore how urban spaces shape the relationship between ethnic encounters and intergroup perceptions. Theoretical work on urbanism suggests that public and private spaces have different effects o…
The Ability to Deal With Difference: Turkish-Dutch Professionals as Go-Betweens in the Education Sector
Based on sixteen semi-structured interviews, this article examines how second-generation Turkish-Dutch education professionals experience their professional position in the ethnically homogeneous upper echelons of the Dutch education sector. The analysis shows that second-generation education professionals, being newcomers to higher-level positions in the sector, have to engage with diverse cultural repertoires at work. Instead of being stuck in-…
Practices of change in the education sector: Professionals Dealing With Ethnic School Segregation
textabstractThis article looks at second-generation professionals in the education sector in Sweden, France and the Netherlands, whose parents were born in Turkey. In their stories, ethnic school segregation appears as an important topic that coincides with other inequalities in society and signals educational injustice. This so-called wicked problem is used to understand how second-generation professionals assert influence in their quest for edu…
Discrimination of Second-Generation Professionals in Leadership Positions
This article, based on interviews from the Dutch Pathways to Success Project, investigates how Turkish-Dutch and Moroccan-Dutch second-generation professionals in leadership positions experience and deal with subtle discrimination at work. We argue that subtle discrimination in organizations remains a reality for second-generation professionals in leadership positions. Because organizations are penetrated by power processes in society at large, t…
