Opis

Contributors from North America and Europe examine ethnic and socio-economic segregation patterns, social polarization and social exclusion in major cities in the Western world. They offer detailed analyses of particular cities, ranging from Johannesburg, Chicago and Toronto to Amsterdam, Stockholm and Belfast, and highlight the social problems in and of cities, indicating differences between nation-states in terms of economic restructuring, migration, welfare-state regimes and ethnic history.

Recenzje
