“…Whereas some studies (Doosje et al 2012;Kalogeraki 2012;Scheepers et al 2002) provide support for this thesis, others do not (e.g., Braun 2011). Overall, current literature on the connection between socioeconomic conditions and anti-immigration violence and/or protest has to date failed to produce conclusive empirical evidence.…”

This article seeks to explain the emergence of a local protest movement against an asylum seeker center (“asielzoekerscentrum” or AZC in Dutch) in the Beverwaard neighborhood in the city of Rotterdam (NL). Based on the contradictory evidence found on the connection between material conditions and anti-immigration mobilization, this article seeks to expand the literature by viewing materiality through the lens of storytelling. Through a qualitative analysis of twenty-eight interviews with inhabitants, local politicians, civil servants, and social workers in 2017, this article illustrates how storytelling about territorial stigmatization and material deprivation played a role in mobilizing inhabitants against the establishment of an AZC in their area two years prior, in 2015. Overall, this article argues that it is not materiality per se but inhabitants’ reading of materiality through practices of storytelling that informed collective mobilization against the arrival of an AZC in a relatively deprived urban community.

“…Meanwhile, in (Kalogeraki, 2012), a quantitative approach with its findings is about the relationship between groups by detecting divergences and ethnic convergence on threats and conflicting attitudes of in-group and outgroup migrants in Greece and Sweden on macroeconomic policy and integration issues. The reason is very simple, because tajhin ressem is a traditional ritual of salvation in the Madurese community that has benefits other than being a form of taqarruban ilallah with prayers that are said, tajhin ressem is also used as a medium of friendship between neighbors in their social environment.…”

“…With respect to the former, natives with low socioeconomic status and low skill levels perceive higher inter-group competition and therefore higher realistic threats which in turn motivate their opposition towards migrants (Dustmann & Preston, 2007;Mayda, 2006). It should be noted that migrants usually occupy the lowest echelons of the social ladder as on average they work at less prestigious positions, therefore natives in a similar precarious socioeconomic status perceive higher threats and are prone to negative stances towards migrants (Coenders et al, 2008;Gijsberts et al, 2004;Gorodzeisky & Semyonov, 2009;Kalogeraki, 2012;O'Rourke & Sinnott, 2006;Scheepers et al, 2002).…”

During the recent ‘refugee crisis’ Greece became one of the major entry points by sea as high numbers of refugees and asylum seekers, primarily originating from Syria, entered its territory en route to wealthier European countries. The unprecedented arrival of refugees has triggered mixed reactions towards newcomers raising socio-economic and cultural concerns about the potential impacts of refugees on the host country. The chapter uses survey data from the EU-funded TransSOL project and incorporates realistic group conflict and social identity theories to explore potential determinants shaping different attitudes towards Syrian refugees entering Greece. The descriptive analysis indicated that opposition attitudes towards Syrian refugees are widespread in Greece. Results from a multinomial logistic regression analysis demonstrated that individual determinants related to social identity theory are particularly important in understanding different levels of Greeks’ opposition towards Syrian refugees, whereas strong opposition towards the specific ethnic group was associated with an amalgamation of individual factors related to both realistic group conflict and social identity theory. The findings stress the necessity of implementing policy interventions that promote the intercultural dialogue and aim to mitigate the main sources of negative stances towards refugees.
