Note

Series Editors’ Preface

The Wiley Blackwell Studies in Urban and Social Change series is published in association with the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research. It aims to advance theoretical debates and empirical analyses stimulated by changes in the fortunes of cities and regions across the world. Among topics taken up in past volumes and welcomed for future submissions are:

  • Connections between economic restructuring and urban change
  • Urban divisions, difference, and diversity
  • Convergence and divergence among regions of East and West, North and South
  • Urban and environmental movements
  • International migration and capital flows
  • Trends in urban political economy
  • Patterns of urban‐based consumption

The series is explicitly interdisciplinary; the editors judge books by their contribution to intellectual solutions rather than according to disciplinary origin. Proposals may be submitted to members of the series Editorial Committee, and further information about the series can be found at www.suscbookseries.com:

Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Jennifer Robinson, Chris Pickvance, and Margit Mayer for constructive criticism and helpful suggestions. This book builds upon a series of articles we have published over the past couple of years. While the material in this book is by and large original, we have taken ideas, data, and some fragments from our articles published in Antipode (Uitermark and Nicholls 2014), Environment and Planning A (Nicholls 2011a; Uitermark et al. 2012), the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research (Uitermark et al. 2005; Uitermark 2014), the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (Nicholls and Uitermark 2013; Nicholls et al. 2016), Theory and Society (Nicholls 2014), Political Geography (Nicholls 2016), a book chapter (Uitermark et al. 2014), Walter Nicholls’s The DREAMers: How the Undocumented Youth Movement Transformed the Immigrant Rights Debate (2013), and Justus Uitermark’s Dynamics of Power in Dutch Integration Politics (2012).
