Reviews

This book presents urban marginality not as a market failure but as part of the regular working of global urban neoliberalism; it also shows the different ways marginality is actually lived across the world. Wonderfully written, this is a shining example of a south-north intellectual collaborative experience that teaches us how to avoid any trace of cynical intellectual colonialism.--Ernesto Lopez-Morales, Associate Professor in the Department of Urban Planning, University of Chile

Critical, wide-ranging and committed to theoretical and epistemic openness and plurality, this insightful book is more than a collection of essays about urban marginality. It offers a refreshing contribution to the North-South debate in urban theory, and exemplifies precisely the kind of approaches we need to develop theoretically-open, critically-informed and politically-engaged scholarship. This book should be read by anyone interested in and concerned about the present and future of urban lives.--Libby Porter, Vice Chancellor's Principal Research Fellow, RMIT University, Australia
