Explore the intricacies of cultural diversity with this compelling book that addresses one of the most pressing issues of today: understanding how societies can coexist peacefully amidst rising nationalisms and ethnic divisions. 'Encountering Difference' presents a well-rounded discussion on societal coexistence and examines the significance of identity formation, diaspora, and creolization in fostering mutual respect and collaboration among different cultural groups. Authored by Robin Cohen and Olivia Sheringham, this essential text draws from a wealth of global research, highlighting real-life examples from locations such as Louisiana, Martinique, Mauritius, and Cape Verde.With its 200 pages of insightful analysis, this book investigates the colonial historical context of social interactions and how collective resilience manifests in shared practices within diverse contact zones. As global migration patterns shift and super-diverse cities emerge, you will discover new perspectives on living with difference—an essential read for scholars, educators, and anyone invested in promoting social harmony.

Description:
In the face of the destructive possibilities of resurgent nationalisms, unyielding ethnicities and fundamentalist religious affinities, there is hardly a more urgent task than understanding how humans can learn to live alongside one another. This fascinating book shows how people from various societies learn to live with social diversity and cultural difference, and considers how the concepts of identity formation, diaspora and creolization shed light on the processes and geographies of encounter.Robin Cohen and Olivia Sheringham reveal how early historical encounters created colonial hierarchies, but also how conflict has been creatively resisted through shared social practices in particular contact zones including islands, port cities and the Âsuper-diverse™ cities formed by enhanced international migration and globalization. Drawing on research experience from across the world, including new fieldwork in Louisiana, Martinique, Mauritius and Cape Verde, their account provides a balance between rich description and insightful analysis showing, in particular, how identities emerge and merge Âfrom below™.Moving seamlessly between social and political theory, history, cultural anthropology, sociology and human geography, the authors point to important new ways of understanding and living with difference, surely one of the key challenges of the twenty-first century.

So cute and dressy. Fit well and bought 1/2 size smaller than usual.
I usually wear sneakers and wanted shoes that were a bit dressier for going out for dinner with my husband. I usually wear a size 7 but bought these in a size 6 1/2 as recommended. I tried them on with bulky wool blend socks that I normally wear, and they fit perfectly. Since I intend to use these boots for dress, I didn't wear them for a long period of time, but found them to be comfortable, and the heal was not too high. The top of the boot is high enough, that it would still be covered by pant legs when you sit down. I also like that the zipper opening in the side made them very easy to get on and the zipper worked very well without sticking. I also like the stacked heal vs. a higher, thinner heal. Although I used to wear 3" spike heals when I was younger, I am now 77 years old, I am more comfortable and feel safer with a thicker heal. Overall, I very much like these ankle boots, and would recommend them.
I hope this review is helpful for you.

Amazing boots!
These boys are gorgeous visually, then when you put them on you can feel the cushioning inside. So comfortable! There is plenty of room in the width, I take a 7 and it for perfectly without being tight with sock on. Outside feels so soft to touch, can't believe quality for the price!

Comfortable and well made, but the white color is off
Size: 8, Color: Sand
I've owned the microsuede sand boots for over and year and they're very comfortable. I don't wear them a ton, just for a few hours here and there to church. But after a year they have no scratches or nicks,
they've held up well. I just ordered them in white. They are beautiful boots, but they're not a true white. They're more of an off white. Also - be aware - they are designed with little squares all over them that are hard to see in the pictures - you have to look at them in the 3D view to see them. I liked the pattern and the look of the boots, I just wasn't happy with the color. I'm so disappointed - I returned them.

Surprisingly wide enough
Size: 9, Color: Black
Was surprised that they're wide enough. Usually, shoes that say they're wide, aren't really wide. They're very cute and "hopefully" when I do wear them out, they'll continue to stay comfortable. I ordered both the Coffee Bean and Black, size 9. Usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2, the fit has plenty of room in the toe area with size 9.
