Payback Conclusion Appendix: Notes on Data and Methods Notes Reference List IndexReviewsA great contribution to urban theory as it yet again underlines the importance of studying organizations and their contexts in order to understand better how urban inequalities are reproduced. * International Journal of Urban and Regional Research * By connecting the dots between classic and contemporary theory, the research of others, and his own research, Seim's work encapsulates the way that knowledge is produced and ideas are grounded in empirical observations. He starts by becoming familiar with the work of others to see what they have learned, and then he explores how his study can further inform their findings to broaden how we understand what he describes as 'frontline governance of urban suffering'. ? * Everyday Sociology * Stunning analysis of the Emergency Medical System (EMS), its frontline workers, and patients . . . . A great source for highlighting how well-intentioned labor processes within seemingly benevolent occupations can further marginalize people and reproduce social inequalities. * British Medical Journal, Medical Humanities * Stunning analysis of the Emergency Medical System (EMS), its frontline workers, and patients . . . . A great source for highlighting how well-intentioned labor processes within seemingly benevolent occupations can further marginalize people and reproduce social inequalities. * British Medical Journal, Medical Humanities * Author InformationJosh Seim is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Boston College.
