The Ghetto
- Synopsis
-
This collection of twelve essays brings together an international cast of sociologists, anthropologists and urban planners to interrogate the history, political economy and scientific utility of the ghetto. They consider whether it arises from urban ecology or social conflict and policies surrounding it; if and how we can distinguish between voluntary and involuntary residential segregation; how space structures urban demographics; and if there is a singular model of ghettos everywhere. Haynes (sociology, UC Davis) and Hutchison (urban and regional studies, U. of Wisconsin, Green Bay) provide an introduction contextualizing the ghetto in Jewish history, a recurring topic in the book.
