Beskrivning

The Everyday Life of Urban Inequality explores how steadily increasing inequality and the spectacular pace of urbanization frame daily life for city residents around the world. Ethnographic case studies from five continents highlight the impact of place, the tools of memory, and the power of collective action as communities interact with centralized processes of policy and capital. By focusing on situated experiences of displacement, belonging, and difference, the contributors to this collection illustrate the many ways urban inequalities take shape, combine, and are perpetuated.

Recensioner i media

Ethnographically based and cross-culturally comparative, this volume of articles provides students of anthropology with first-hand portrayals of urban life in different cities. Authors in this volume demonstrate that urban inequality is a multifaceted phenomenon: public policy, institutional arrangement, space, infrastructure, and even personal hygiene. Jointly, they made it clear that urban inequality is not merely a local story but a global reality with shared roots with various ramifications.
