Geographies of Privilege brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars with a worldwide focus to reveal the nature of privilege on a global scale. The chapters examine privilege through a relational lens by showing the tension that exists between privileged (elite) and unprivileged (degraded) spaces. By including of persons and groups that are negatively affected by privileged practice, this book makes privilege studies more accessible to students who do not feel privileged.

Paperback. Condición: Good. How are social inequalities experienced, reproduced and challenged in local, global and transnational spaces? What role does the control of space play in distribution of crucial resources and forms of capital (housing, education, pleasure, leisure, social relationships)?The case studies in Geographies of Privilege demonstrate how power operates and is activated within local, national, and global networks. Twine and Gardener have put together a collection that analyzes how the centrality of spaces (domestic, institutional, leisure, educational) are central to the production, maintenance and transformation of inequalities. The collected readings show how power--in the form of economic, social, symbolic, and cultural capital--is employed and experienced.The volume?s contributors take the reader to diverse sites, including brothels, blues clubs, dance clubs, elite schools, detention centers, advocacy organizations, and public sidewalks in Canada, Italy, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Mozambique, South Africa, and the United States. Geographies of Privilege is the perfect teaching tool for courses on social problems, race, class and gender in Geography, Sociology and Anthropology. Nº de ref. del artículo: CIN0415519624G
