Comparing the US 'Black Belt' with the French 'Red Belt'demonstrates that state structures and policies play a decisiverole in the articulation of class, race and place on both sides ofthe Atlantic. It also reveals the crystallization of a new regimeof marginality fuelled by the fragmentation of wage labour, theretrenchment of the social state and the concentration ofdispossessed categories in stigmatized areas bereft of a collectiveidiom of identity and claims-making. These defamed districts arenot just the residual 'sinkholes' of a bygone economic era, butalso the incubators of the precarious proletariat emerging underneoliberal capitalism.
Urban Outcasts sheds new light on the explosive mix ofmounting misery, stupendous affluence and festering street violenceresurging in the big cities of the First World. By specifying thedifferent causal paths and experiential forms assumed by relegationin the American and the French metropolis, this book offersindispensable tools for rethinking urban marginality and forreinvigorating the public debate over social inequality andcitizenship at century's dawn.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
