OverviewExperimenting with new ways of looking at the contexts, subjects, processes and multiple political stances that make up life at the margins, this book provides a novel source for a critical rethinking of marginalisation. Drawing on post-colonialism and critical assemblage thinking, the rich ethnographic works presented in the book trace the assemblage of marginality in multiple case-studies encompassing the Global North and South. These works are united by the approach developed in the book, characterised by the refusal of a priori definitions and by a post-human and grounded take on the assemblage of life. The result is a nuanced attention to the potential expressed by everyday articulations and a commitment to produce a processual, vitalist and non-normative cultural politics of the margins. The reader will find in this book unique challenges to accepted and authoritative thinking, and provides new insights into researching life at the margins.

Between the Fool and the World: Toward a (Re)contextualization of Assemblage Thinking in the Contemporary University (Darren J. Patrick)Reviews'This excellent collection brings a new focus to an enduring and vital question: how is urban marginality produced, lived and contested? Inspired by poststructural and postcolonial accounts of the city, it provides rich accounts of how the heterogeneity of urbanity produces marginality. By investigating a wide ranging set of domains architectures, publics, infrastructures, slums, waste and others a vivid and nuanced picture emerges of how people and things are sorted into particular urban geographies and how they challenge and exceed those geographies. An important contribution to debates on urban life and inequality.' - Colin McFarlane, Durham University, UK 'Rethinking Life at the Margins demonstrates that Southern Urbanism is not a geographic concern but a much more profound epistemic act. This impressive volume, with its masterful introduction, is illuminating and essential reading for urbanists determined to rethink and remake the city anew.' - Edgar Pieterse, University of Cape Town, South Africa 'This excellent collection brings a new focus to an enduring and vital question: how is urban marginality produced, lived and contested?
