Book Release: Stadt – Migration – Moral

Analysen zur lokalen Moralisierung der Migration

I am very pleased to announce the release of this anthology, which I am co-editing with Jan Lange. It contains many interesting contributions, for example about the possible pitfalls of migration-related participation formats, the construction of ‘migrants in the neighborhood’, governmental practices in dialogue forums, moral contestations in participatory urban development projects, moral assertion strategies in local migration regimes, the image of the welcoming city, urban citizenship as a moral construct, and dilemmas of urban ethnographic ethics research today.

The anthology is concerned with the moralization of migration at the urban level and focuses on state administrative action, the operation of civil society initiatives, and their interplay within urban governance.
