"Unique in its field, this edited volume reconsiders the Chicago School's 'iconic ghetto' against other marginalized, stigmatized spaces worldwide, such as Paris's banlieues, Rio's favelas, and Kenya's refugee camps...Consisting of 12 generally richly analytical...presentations, this volume should be enticing for senior and graduate-level seminars in sociology or urban studies. Highly recommended." -Choice
