Richard Sennett has spent an intellectual lifetime exploring how
humans live in cities. In this pair of essays he visits two of the
world's greatest cities at crucial moments in their history to
meditate on the condition of exile in both geographical and psychic
space: the Jewish Ghetto of Renaissance Venice, where state-imposed
outsiderdom was translated into a rich community identity; and
nineteenth-century Paris, a magnet for political exiles, where the
experience of displacement seeped into the city's culture at large.
