Ethno-Architecture and the Politics of Migration explores the interface between migration and architecture. Cities have been substantially affected by transnational migration but the physical manifestations of migration in architecture – and its effect on streetscape; neighbourhood and city – have so far been understudied. This contributed volume examines how migrants interact with; adapt; and construct new architecture. Looking at the physical; urban and cultural impact of these changes on a variety of sites; the authors explore architecture as an identity category and investigate what buildings and places associated with migration tell us about central questions of belonging; culture; community; and home in regions such as North America; Australia and the UK.An important contribution to debates on place identity and the transformation of places as a result of mobility and globalised economies in the 21st century.
