This book is the empirical part of abroad research project on society in a global context, complementing the first, theoretical book,Theorizing Society in a Global Context.While the theoretical book set the framework for a long overdue readdressing of the sociological core-termsocietyin a conflict-theoretical perspective, this second book substantiates its findings with theory-driven empirical analysis. Krossa investigatesa variety of social exchanges between refugees and longer-term residents using various qualitative methods,and applies a lens of inclusion and exclusion via definitions of dirt and cleanliness, toanalyse the ways in which conflict-prone activities to 'integrate' take place. Analysing Society in a Global Context will be of interest to students and scholars across sociology, cultural studies, migration studies, European studies, globalisation studies, modern history, and political science.
