This book explores the nuanced dynamics that shape conviviality and examines the different ways in which individuals within communities navigate the challenges of the neoliberal, racializing European landscape by forming alliances that transcend identity, geographical and cultural boundaries. This book offers a very renewed reflection on different communities that are largely marginalized, Black and POC communities, Muslim communities and Trans*, building their context around identities such as migration, LGBTQI+ etc. and thinking out loud about institutional and structural racism, inequalities and also empowerment. Through personal narratives, academic analysis and artistic expression, the book creates a map of stories and narratives that celebrate the potential of communities and conviviality as a way forward. This book aims to make the voices of these communities heard and provides a platform for their stories, struggles, collective experiences, hopes and visions for the future.
