Abstract

[Urban Europe is a testing ground for key dynamics of negotiation of citizenship, integration versus exclusion and tolerance versus toleration. This chapter, draws upon long-term fieldwork in Naples to address how contested and negotiated urban space is divided and used. Ethnographic evidence shows the complex and varied relations between immigrants and native entrepreneurs in a context where Neapolitans have long been treated as second-class citizens. This feeling must be understood in light of the flawed view held by many that Southerners are deeply corrupt in their personal and public lives and that Southern society is undermined by a cultural sympathy with criminality and a lack of civic sense.]
