Introduction : non-elite cosmopolitanism in the Brexit era -- 'India's my heart, and I know I'm an Indian' : histories of mobility and fixity -- 'If not you, they can get ten different workers in your place' : racial capitalism and workplace resistance -- 'We're not just guardians of the area but of the whole city' : urban citizenship struggles and the racialised outsider -- 'And then we just let our creativity take over' : cultural production in a provincial city -- Conclusion : the immigration debate and common anger in dangerous times.
Taking a biographical approach, the book explores the causes and consequences of moving or staying put in the context of class inequality and racisms, and looks for commonalities between people often seen as irredeemably divided.
