Abstract
This book is devoted to the various ways in which superdiversity has beenunderstood and employed by others. Given the runaway success of the term“superdiversity”, it is not surprising that this term has been used and interpretedin many different ways. One key appeal of theorizing on superdiversity isthat, as Vertovec argues, the explanatory power of extant theories of migrationare compromised by the ever-changing landscape it seeks to capture. Inparticular, categories, and the ways in which they are used, are at the heart ofVertovec’s elaboration of superdiversity. Furthermore, his emphasis on multiplelevels and intersections of complexity provides important insight.
