Analyzing conviviality requires theorising racialized urban exclusion alongside national border control.

Evidence

To usefully work with the concept of conviviality, therefore, scholars need to substantively theorise the racist cultures and practices which structure the cities and societies being studied. For example, research into specific urban locales should carefully attend to the ways in which racism is historically spatialised through urban planning and housing policies (see e.g. Back, 1996). This would necessarily factor in contemporary processes of urban regeneration, gentrification, and attendant forms of displacement in cities like London (Elliott-Cooper et al., 2020; Jackson, 2019). These forms of displacement and exclusion should then be connected to the heavy policing and surveillance that overdetermine the lives of so many working-class young people - black and racialised young people in particular (Elliott-Cooper, 2021). These forms of structurally racialised inequality and violence produce bordered spaces within the city - gated communities; heavily policed (and gentrified) high streets; slick consumer spaces, purged of the homeless and the vagrant. In the context of intensified and internalised immigration control, these urban borders intersect with national borders in complex ways (Hall, 2017, 2021), and the lack of research on the relationship between conviviality and immigration control, between urban and national borders, is therefore especially striking (for exceptions, see Back & Sinha, 2018; Hall, 2021). — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 12

• XREF: Connects to conviviality literature (Gilroy’s postcolonial melancholia / multiculture) — the passage is a corrective that insists conviviality studies can’t ignore state violence. — connects to: Borders generate new hierarchies of belonging shaped by immigration control — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 31; The shared condition of deportability forges affinity across racial and national lines in detention. — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 51
• SEED: An essay on how ‘urban borders’ (gentrified high streets purged of the homeless) and ‘national borders’ (deportation) are one continuous system of spatialised race — the city as an internal border apparatus.
