Abstract: This timely book focuses on the interactions of multiple ethnic groups in the contemporary inner city. Focusing in particular on Muslim communities, and the discrimination they have faced, it addresses difficult issues of integration and identity, while offering a detailed exploration of the politics and practice of multicultural coexistence. It will be essential reading for urban policy scholars and those studying ethnic diversity and the politics of space and place. --Provided by publisher.
