Loic Wacquant is one of the most influential sociological theorists
of the contemporary era with his research and writings resonating
widely across the social sciences. This edited collection
critically responds to Wacquant's distinct approach to
understanding the contemporary urban condition in advanced
capitalist societies. It comprises chapters focused on Europe and
North America from leading international scholars and new emergent
voices, which chart new empirical, theoretical and methodological
territory. Pivoting on the relationship between class, ethnicity
and the state in the (re-)making of urban marginality, the volume
takes stock of Wacquant's body of work and assesses its value as a
springboard for rethinking urban inequality in polarizing times.
Heeding Wacquant's call for constant theoretical critique and
development in understanding dynamic urban relations and processes,
the contributions challenge, develop and refine Wacquant's
framework, while also synthesizing it with other perspectives and
bringing it into dialogue with new areas of inquiry. How can
Wacquant's work aid the empirical understanding of today's complex
urban inequalities? And how can empirical investigation and
theoretical synthesis aid the development of Wacquant's framework?
The diverse contributors to the collection ask these, and other,
searching questions - and Wacquant responds to this critique in the
final chapter. This book will be of interest to scholars engaged in
understanding the drivers, contexts, and potential responses to
contemporary urban marginality.
