ABSTRACT In this article, we explore the diversity, histories, and social experiences of migrant youth in Melbourne and Toronto and how they negotiate difference and otherness in their everyday lives. By moving away from the tensions and problems that have often been associated with migration and diversity, we explore how migrant youth’s engagement with multiple cultural systems does in fact engender empathy as a valuable form of transcultural capital. As such, we highlight individual agency in negotiating difference in ways that enable migrant youth to understand and accept ‘the otherness of others’ from a critical, self-reflexive stance. In a context of an increasingly interconnected, diverse, but yet unequal world, this ability of migrant youth to navigate and negotiate difference and nurture empathy is not only an important contribution to the practice and labour of living together, but also to an ever more valuable transcultural ethos and practical orientation that should be valued, fostered, and mobilised.

ABSTRACT The emergence of the alt-right in the US since 2008 has been widely documented but its international impacts have received less attention. Located in the context of the 2019 Christchurch massacre of 51 people by an Australian alt-right influenced gunman and based in analysis of two Australian forums, XYZ.net.au and #DingoTwitter, this article investigates the transnational spread of alt-right discourse in the context of the platformisation of extremism. Through historical and content analysis of the sites, the paper shows how key alt-right ideologies of ‘white replacement’ and ‘white genocide’, along with anti-Semitic and misogynist ideologies, are adapted to local contexts by alt-right influenced actors. Platform logics, it is argued, provide new possibilities for the mutation and spread of ‘translocal whiteness’ and for the deployment of alt-right ‘metapolitical’ strategies that seek to normalise racist discourse.

ABSTRACT Food, a result of local production and consumption, influences by culture, race, and ethnicity. It provides multisensory experiences that can be observed, expressed, smelled, tasted, and touched. However, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the batik industry and its practitioners in Sangiran Regency. Batik, an historic fabric of Indonesia, is an integral part of Sangiran, an Indonesian World Heritage site highlighting its origins. Drawing on the theory of Briggs (2005. The use of indigenous knowledge in development: Problems and challenges. Progress in Development Studies, 5 (2), 99–114) on indigenous knowledge, this field note explores the significance of batik filling, specifically within the daily lives of batik crafters. This study, conducted in Indonesia, has provided valuable insights from the perspectives of these individuals. Through a three-month ethnographic work, it was discovered that batik filling symbolizes not only an artistic element but also the culinary traditions of the Javanese community. Additionally, it emphasizes the pivotal role of pengobeng, who are predominantly women, in forming a profound connection to daily life through their memories. The results showed that batik filling serves as a medium for food nostalgia in women, asserting their presence and importance within the batik industry.

ABSTRACT The nature of the unfolding social cohesion in previously racially segregated residential spaces has attracted attention since the collapse of apartheid in South Africa and the subsequent transition to democracy in 1994. This paper uses sense of neighbourhood to investigate the emerging social interactions in Cambridge, a former whites-only residential suburb in East London, South Africa. Fitting a binary logistic regression on survey data from a sample of residents of Cambridge, the paper tests the likelihood of race and gender influencing three indicators of the sense of neighbourhood: the sense of safety, trust and norms of reciprocity. The results show that relational dimensions of the sense of neighbourhood differed along racial lines, with low levels of interracial trust mirroring studies elsewhere in the country, and the national-level South African Reconciliation Barometer survey reports. Due to the voluntaristic nature of relational ties, social integration will remain elusive, and regardless of the extent of racial changes, variations in the sense of neighbourhood will characterise the urban residential spaces.

ABSTRACT Advancing recent literature that critically examines multicultural efforts to generate socio-economic inclusion, this article studies how, in a small yet affluent Pennsylvania town, multicultural festivals are part of a social milieu in which Latinx immigrants face continuing erasure and exploitation – manifested in precarious health and housing conditions. Utilizing ethnographic and qualitative methods, I show that, although the town’s multicultural festivals aim to give a voice and recognize minority communities, they have in some cases contributed to an environment in which Latinx peoples have for decades been silenced and overlooked, resulting in heightened rates of health issues related to dangerous housing. From a semiotic theoretical approach, the disconnect between increasing performative-visibility and ongoing marginalization of Latinx immigrants can be explained by multicultural festivals relying upon floating signifiers, as well as issues of structural power. My findings shed light on the nuanced cultural ways that the structural social and material suffering of minoritized, immigrant populations is overlooked through the invocation of purportedly emancipatory acts, as well as the lingering effects of the structural force of White Supremacy.

ABSTRACT Peru is a multicultural country, with a wide wealth of languages and traditions. However, most of the contributions from the Andean and Amazon areas have suffered segregation by members of the majority culture, represented by the Spanish language and centralised in the coastal cities. For this reason, migration to these territories has included the concealment of the mother tongue, cultural mimicry and the loss of identity values. For this reason, this study seeks to achieve the opposite effect: to revalue the Quechua language through the presentation and compilation of oral myths from different Andean localities, thanks to the conception, performance and style of a group of students of the Beca 18 program at a private university from Lima. This means revaluing the cultural elements that are part of the identity of these students, specifying the activity as a form of cultural strengthening, and recovering the myth as a manifestation of oral literature in the Peruvian environment, as well as in the official spaces of culture majority.

ABSTRACT This article explores the concepts of othering and the Other through the experiences of Baltic and Nigerian migrants in Ireland. By looking at the racialisation of both groups, considered the Other within Irish society, our work finds that these two groups experience othering in different ways based on class, ethnicity, and race. The way these two groups are racialised subsequently influences their pathways of migrant integration within Irish society as distinct newcomers who are positioned differently within a racial hierarchy in Ireland. Overt differences like skin colour play an important role, especially for second-generation Nigerian interviewees, when not being accepted as Irish in Ireland. The paper not only contributes to the literature on race and racialisation but also demonstrates the complexity of racialisation within Irish society.
