The analysis of the personal social networks of 250 inhabitants of a small Swiss City\u2014different types of migrants as well as non-migrants\u2014supplemented by data from qualitative interviews brings to light the important categories for the creation of boundaries and the place of ethnicity among them. The inhabitant\u2019s network structures display specific network boundaries that are translated into symbolic and also social boundaries: four different clusters emerge among the population, pointing to their stratified social positioning in this city. Hereby an interplay of nationality, education, local establishment, mobility type, \u201crace,\u201d and religion are the most important structuring factors. It becomes clear that the common ideas of assimilation cannot grasp the complexity of the \u201ccategorical game\u201d at place in this city when it comes to migrant\u2019s incorporation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: <span class=\"Keyword\">Cities\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Ethnicity\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Boundary work\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Social capital\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Social networks\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Switzerland\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Transnationality\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Janine Dahinden Source : http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/s12134-011-0224-2 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[167],"tags":[75,7,9,259,98,154,284,373,125,278,91,207,26,376],"class_list":["post-1658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ethnicity-languages-religion-arts","tag-75","tag-article","tag-english-language","tag-ethnicity","tag-immigration-policy","tag-interviews","tag-neuchatel","tag-qualitative-research","tag-social-capital","tag-social-class","tag-social-integration","tag-social-networks","tag-transnationalism","tag-urban-areas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1658\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
