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.
