Race is arguably the single most troublesome and volatile concept of the social sciences in the early 21st century. It is invoked to explain all manner of historical phenomena and current issues, from slavery to police brutality to acute poverty, and it is also used as a term of civic denunciation and moral condemnation. In this erudite and incisive book based on a panoramic mining of comparative and historical research from around the globe, ...

In den Jahren von 1977 bis 1997 machte der Begriff »Unterklasse« in den USA eine steile Karriere, um dann genauso schnell wieder aus der Debatte zu verschwinden. In Reaktion auf Unruhen in den Großstädten wurde mit dieser Bezeichnung nicht die soziale Realität in den Armutsgettos analysiert, sondern ein rassifizierter Volksteufel konstruiert und zu einer Bedrohung für die Gesellschaft stilisiert. Beispielhaft analysiert Wacquant im Detail, wie...

Building on three decades of comparative research on marginality, ethnicity, and penality in the postindustrial metropolis, Loïc Wacquant offers a novel interpretation of Pierre Bourdieu as urban theorist. He invites us to explore the city through what he calls the trialectic of symbolic space (the mental categories through which we perceive and organize the world), social space (the distribution of capital in its different forms), and physica...

At century's close, American social scientists, policy analysts, philanthropists and politicians became obsessed with a fearsome and mysterious new group said to be ravaging the ghetto: the urban "underclass." Soon the scarecrow category and its demonic imagery were exported to the United Kingdom and continental Europe and agitated the international study of exclusion in the postindustrial metropolis. In this punchy book, Loïc Wacquant retrac...

Yet for three years he immersed himself among local fighters, amateur and professional.

Loïc Wacquant's Body and Soul melds Pierre Bourdieu's signal concept of habitus with Wacquant's ethnographic observations as an amateur boxer at a gym in Chicago's South Side.

Loïc Wacquant tauchte für mehrere Jahre in die Szene eines Box-Clubs im schwarzen Ghetto von Chicago ein. Was lediglich einen authentischen Zugang zu den Bewohnern des Ghettos ermöglichen sollte, wurde zu einer Leidenschaft. Drei bis sechs Mal pro Woche trainierte Wacquant mit den Amateuren des »Woodlawn Boys Club« und lernte dadurch nicht nur zu kämpfen, sondern auch zu empfinden und zu denken wie ein Boxer. Packend schildert er in seinen Auf...

Loic Wacquant untersucht am Beispiel der Vereinigten Staaten den Zusammenhang zwischen der Politik der ökonomischen Deregulierung und Liberalisierung einerseits und verschärfter StrafgeSetzgebung sowie dem Ausbau der Justiz andererseits. Ökonomisch deregulierend akzeptieren Gesellschaft und Regierung die Prekarisierung der Arbeit und des sozialen Elends. Statt mit sozialstaatlichen Mitteln - diese werden gekürzt - reagiert dieses Gesellschafts...

I reietti della città" ci trasporta nel ghetto nero di Chicago e nella banlieue deindustrializzata della periferia parigina, per farci scoprire che la marginalità urbana non è la stessa ovunque. Con il supporto di dati quantitativi, riferimenti storici e ricerche sul campo Wacquant mostra come il peggioramento delle condizioni di vita nelle inner city americane non possa essere spiegato con l'emergere di una "underclass", ma vada ricondotto al...

Breaking with the exoticizing cast of public discourse and conventional research, Urban Outcasts takes the reader inside the black ghetto of Chicago and the deindustrializing banlieue of Paris to discover that urban marginality is not everywhere the same.
