ABSTRACT
This chapter refers to Watson's edited volume, Between Two Cultures: Migrants and Minorities in Britain, which collects essential urban anthropological studies carried out at both ends of the migration chain'. Osman starts attacking Murat while he is talking, hits him with the first blow, Murat tries to block Osman's fists, yelling at him to stop, feels that he cannot talk to him. The Multicultural City' seems to be a descriptive label which raises a number of questions, especially regarding the underlying implications of the term culture'. Marginalization is a fact for adolescents in general, but even more so for those from lower social strata, and most of all for those with a migration background. The multicultural, multi-ethnic city of Vienna is marked by a population structure in which unemployment and a dwindling need for unskilled labour mostly affects part of the migrant populations, mainly from Yugoslavia and Turkey.
