Description
In a neighbourhood facing massive redevelopment, racialised residents speak about stigma, social mixing, and what the island community means to them. Based on rich interviews, photographs, and archival research, Julie Chamberlain rejects the usual silence in German urban studies around racialisation and examines how constructing some groups as "not belonging" has shaped Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg's past and present.
For racialised long-time residents, it is Heimat, a space of belonging in the context of exclusion. As social mix policy threatens that belonging, residents explore their hopes and their fears for the future of an urban space where gentrification looms.
Wilhelmsburg is our home! delves deep into these issues, providing a nuanced perspective on the complexities of identity and community in a rapidly changing environment.
