The Oxford Handbook of the Modern Slum, Gebunden

Klappentext

The Oxford Handbook of the Modern Slum explores the history of the modern slum, connecting nineteenth-century iterations through multiple pathways to its contemporary existence. With chapters by 28 scholars, this Handbook brings an array of important and original perspectives and methodologies to bear on slums, real and imagined, across the globe. Drawing upon anthropology, archaeology, architecture, geography, history, politics, sociology and urban planning, the Handbook delves into households and communities whose existence has been hidden by stereotypes.
