Description: Migration - driven diversity means European cities are becoming increasingly superdiverse. Some European neighbourhoods have become places where newcomers arrive from across the world speaking many different languages from a range of socio - economic backgrounds and with diverse religious beliefs and practices while living alongside long - established migrant and white European populations. This book focuses on what this increasing population diversity means for how people and local health and welfare service providers seek to address everyday health concerns from minor and chronic conditions to acute and urgent problems. Using an innovative mixed - method approach crossing multiple disciplines and drawing together rich qualitative and robust quantitative data this book offers unique insight into the complex and intricate actions which often vary over space and time implemented by both residents and care providers from eight superdiverse localities in four European countries each with different health and welfare traditions. The book introduces the concept of welfare bricolage using it as a mechanism to explore the structures and rationales underpinning need and actions and how resources are connected across welfare regimes and borders and within locales. The book illustrates how in the face of increasingly marketised cash - strapped restrictive and institutionally racist welfare states and healthcare regimes individuals and service providers strive to address need. By focusing on welfare regimes migration histories everyday actions and resources within neighbourhoods Exploring Welfare Bricolage in Europe's Superdiverse Neighbourhoods offers a unique insight into what people and providers actually do when faced with health concerns. The book highlights the role of structure and agency and moves beyond conventional approaches that focus on specific groups or sectors to research health and welfare by looking at whole populations and entire welfare ecosystems. The book's theoretical methodological and empirical contributions will be of use to scholars practitioners and policymakers interested in welfare healthcare diversity and migration.
