Convivencia: Urban Space and Migration in a Small Catalan Town challenges the simplistic notion of peaceful co-existence associated with the term and reveals the inherent conflicts within it. Through a multi-scalar extended case study of a small town in Northern Catalonia, Spain, the book examines the complex interplay between cultural diversity and social conflicts, exploring why some social conflicts are perceived as inherently cultural. The study employs ethnography to shed light on the local-global processes involved in the social construction of the "migrant problem" and its solutions. It examines the simultaneous local-global transformation of migration and societies, connecting the local processes of space- and place-making in Salt with the broader processes of migration, economic crisis, and social transformation. Additionally, it assesses the responses to these changes from the local society, institutions, and NGOs. By focusing on the interaction between mobility and settlement and the socio-cultural processes at different scales through the vectors of production and reproduction of space, the book contributes to the understanding of the complex web of urban, social, and political transformation in which migration takes part. It advances findings on the "new social question in Europe" by highlighting the importance of mobility and settlement in shaping contemporary societies.
