Welcome to the city shadows in Valdemingomez: a lawless landscape
of drugs and violence. Through vivid testimonies and images, Briggs
and Monge tell the stories of the people who live there, placing
them in a political, economic and social context of spatial
inequality and oppressive mechanisms of social control.
"Julia" nervously emerges from her shabby tent in the suburban
wastelands on the outskirts of Madrid to face another day of
survival in one of Europe's most problematic ghettos: she is
homeless, wanted by the police, and addicted to heroin and cocaine.
She is also five months pregnant and rarely makes contact with
support services. Welcome to the city shadows in Valdemingomez: a
lawless landscape of drugs and violence where the third world meets
the Wild West. Briggs and Monge entered this area with only their
patience, some cigarettes and a mobile phone and collected vivid
testimonies and images of Julia and others like her who live there.
This important book documents what they found, locating these
people's stories and situations in a political, economic and social
context of spatial inequality and oppressive mechanisms of social
control.
