Description
Book SynopsisThe study of inequalities is the cornerstone of social geographic research. This book explores how cities as well as rural spaces are organized in ways that construct and maintain social inequality. A global perspective is maintained throughout, drawing on experiences, theories, and ideas from the global north and south.
Trade Review"By not taking the well-trodden route of segmenting discussions of social geographies of gender, race, age, sex and so on, Del Casino is breaking the mould. He is offering something far superior ... [and] very accessible and student friendly." (Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2012)
