“Superdiversity”: it still packs a punch

Song, Miri (2023) “Superdiversity”: it still packs a punch. Ethnic and Racial Studies, 47 (8). pp. 1-8. ISSN 0141-9870. E-ISSN 1466-4356. (doi:10.1080/01419870.2023.2227693) (KAR id:103077)

Abstract

This book is devoted to the various ways in which superdiversity has been understood and employed by others. Given the runaway success of the term “superdiversity”, it is not surprising that this term has been used and interpreted in many different ways. One key appeal of theorizing on superdiversity is that, as Vertovec argues, the explanatory power of extant theories of migration are compromised by the ever-changing landscape it seeks to capture. In particular, categories, and the ways in which they are used, are at the heart of Vertovec’s elaboration of superdiversity. Furthermore, his emphasis on multiple levels and intersections of complexity provides important insight.
