Diversity of belonging in Europe :public spaces, contested places, cultural encounters

---

Diversity of Belonging in Europe analyzes conflicting notions of identity and

belonging in contemporary Europe. Addressing the creation, negotiation, and (re)

use of diverse spaces and places of belonging, the book examines their fascinating

complexities in the context of a changing Europe.

Taking an innovative interdisciplinary approach, the volume examines

renegotiations of belonging played out through cultural encounters with difference

and change, in diverse public spaces and contested places. Highlighting the

interconnections between social change and culture, heritage, and memory, the

chapters analyze multilayered public spaces and the negotiations over culture and

belonging that are connected to them. Through analyses of diverse case studies, the

editors and authors draw out the significance of the participation or exclusion of

differing community, grassroots, and activist groups in such practices and discourses

of belonging in relation to the contemporary emergence of identity conflicts and

political uses of the past across Europe. They analyze the ways in which people’s

sense of belonging is connected to cultural, heritage, and memory practices

undertaken in different public spaces, including museums, cultural and community

centres, city monuments and built heritage, neglected urban spaces, and online fora.

Diversity of Belonging in Europe provides a valuable contribution to the

existing bodies of work on identities, migration, public space, memory, and

heritage. The book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in

contested belonging, public spaces, and the role of culture and heritage.
