Yet, as research has rather focussed on negative attitudes towards immigration and diversity, less is known about positive attitudes and those who hold them. The paper makes a conceptual and an empirical contribution to filling this gap. We introduce a multidimensional concept, “diversity assent”, to capture both evaluations of diversity and attitudes towards reflecting diversity in societal institutions. We test the concept using the case of urban Germany, drawing from a large, purpose-built survey. We demonstrate that, while assent differs for the two dimensions, a sizeable majority of those who evaluate diversity positively also agree with representing diversity in official policy and institutions, with some differences along socio-political lines.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"51 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136346291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Importantly, the book also offers a useful backstory to the concept which helps to better locate it into a long standing but not mainstream anthropological engagement with social complexity. While triggered by a new age of migration and the socio-demographic transformations it was producing in London, the concept was also since inception a way of capturing the diversification of world views and systems of categorisation brought by these processes. However, drawing from research I carried out with EU migrants in London after Brexit, I argue that profound movements and transformations are occurring under the surface of a city that remains “superdiverse”; changes driven by forces that fall outside the analytical reach of “superdiversity”, leaving the question: what drives migration-driven diversification unanswered.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"52 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this piece, I highlight the significance of investigating race through the category of descent-based group differences from an Italian and European perspective, where the taboo on the word “race” is as pervasive as the category is operative in social reality. Analyzing the research strategies adopted by the authors, I emphasize the importance of careful comparison and translation between two contexts that exhibit both continuity and discontinuity in how race is conceptualized. The book provides insights for reconsidering antidiscrimination policies in Italy and Europe. In this sense, the text by Morning and Maneri not only brings clarity to the academic debate but also serves to initiate and substantiate the increasingly urgent discussion between academia and policymakers.KEYWORDS: Descent-based differencesrace/racismItaly/Italiannesequality datanew racismold racism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 In 2021, I have been involved in two projects promoted by the Italian region Veneto (RADAR) and coordinated by Prof. Annalisa Frisina (University of Padua) on racism and antiracism in high school.

Participants reported changes in their Christian denominational affiliation, their church attendance frequency, and the regularity of their private praying following their residential migration from Nigeria to Britain. Various contextual and individual factors influenced these changes, such as conditions in British society and “work”, which was the most reported cause of a decline in participants’ religious activity. This research suggests that it is more common for first-generation Nigerian Christian immigrants in Britain to experience a decline than an increase in their religious commitment as they live in the UK, which is much less religious than Nigeria. More testing with broad samples is required to evaluate the research findings.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":" 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on an original collection of essays written by low-income students in a college preparatory course in Rio de Janeiro, and comparing essays written nearly twenty years apart (2003 and 2022), it shows that potential beneficiaries have become more critical of the often-repeated notion that Brazil is a “racial democracy”. It also finds that, contrary to their 2003 counterparts, potential beneficiaries in 2022 rarely express fear that racial quotas would increase prejudice against black people. Finally, students in 2022 commonly describe racial quotas as a means of reparation and a right the state should protect, a framing nearly absent in 2003. These findings highlight the transformative potential of affirmative action in creating a new legal consciousness among historically stigmatized groups.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":" 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many studies investigate the drivers of prejudice and discrimination toward immigrants, relatively less is known about the impact of discrimination on immigrants’ political attitudes. In this paper, we assess whether perceived discrimination is associated with higher levels of support for democracy among Muslim immigrants using the EURISLAM survey dataset, which includes data from immigrants from Muslim-majority countries residing in four European countries. We find that in particular, perceived discrimination toward the ethnic or religious in-group is associated with increased support for democracy. These results are robust to alternative control variables, model specification, matching procedures and coefficient stability analysis. Our findings make an important contribution to understanding the implications of discriminatory experiences for immigrants.KEYWORDS: Discriminationdemocratic attitudesimmigrantsMuslimsWestern Europepolitical psychology AcknowledgementsWe thank Andrej Cvetic, Eser Sekercioglu, Miceal Canavan and the participants of Second Scientific Meeting of the German Political Psychology Network, Columbia University Comparative Politics seminars and Humboldt University Berlin Institute for Migration and Integration Research Colloquium for their helpful comments on the earlier versions of this paper. All errors are our own.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The dataset and the codebook are publicly available at https://doi.org/10.17026/dans-xx7-5×27.2 A surname-based sampling method that made use of digital phone book records (including both land lines and cellular phones) was used to construct the sampling frame because statistical categories and possibilities to rely on official registries differ greatly across the countries in question (for more details, see Hoksbergen and Tillie Citation2016, 9–11)). Recent research underlines possible problems related to inferring gender and race identity through names (Lockhart, King, and Munsch Citation2023). While we acknowledge concerns, we believe the EURISLAM dataset is not likely to suffer from this problem. The countries of origin covered in the sample are Bosnia, Morrocco, Pakistan and Turkey. These countries have distinct cultures and even use different alphabets. Therefore, inferring the country of origin through names within this sample is not likely to cause threats to our inferences.3 All items were originally measured on a 4-point Likert scale.4 As a robustness check, we also run the analysis with an index created via factor analysis (Appendix Table A2) and separate analyses for each item (appendix Tables A3–A5). The results are still supportive of our argument.5 As may be expected, non-natives are significantly more likely to indicate having experienced personal discrimination than natives (Natives: M = 0.14,","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"197 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135476674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
