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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEthnographically 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. -- Anru Lee, John Jay College, CUNY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive compilation of ethnographic studies carried out in cities around the Global South, this book offers a brilliant insight into how excluded populations make sense, experience, and struggle with social inequality in an era of planetary urbanization. Covering a wide range of topics like gentrification, urban informality, citizenship participation, place making, and migration, The Everyday Life of Urban Inequality helps us understand the diversity of ways in which urban residents deal creatively with contemporary forms of exclusion while making the city. A must-read for anyone interested in reflecting anthropologically on the relationship between urban space and everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Miguel Pérez, Alberto Hurtado University \u0026amp; Center for Social Conflict and Cohesion Studies, Chile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMegan Sheehan and Angela D.
