'Martin Stringer has produced a fascinating bottom-up? account of the discourses about religious diversity now flowing through Birmingham's urban culture. Focusing on four arenas in which religious difference becomes manifest - clothing, buildings, festivals, and current event news items - Stringer charts the different ways in which people confront or ignore diversity, and the ways in which difference is downplayed or attributed to ethnic culture, or religion. The result is an insightful analysis of the ways in which religion, culture, and politics become intertwined and how the latent can be as problematic as the manifest. Through it all there is keen attention to the latest currents in urban social theory, making this a book for students of cities, of religion, of immigration, and of contemporary modern society.' Rhys H. Williams, Loyola University Chicago, USA '[Stringer's] new book is not a study of discourses of religions but instead of discourses on religion by ordinary English urbanites. As he puts it, "I want to begin by listening to the people who live within the city and to hear how they are talking about religion, religions, and religious diversity and to identify the kind of assumptions that they are making within their conversations"'.
