Drawing on research conducted across four sites in Europe, this book examines the role of ‘the local’ in integration policies for asylum seekers. It analyses racial and gender approaches across housing, language education and labour market access, and highlights the transformative power of ‘local’ action to challenge norms and inequalities.
