商品簡介
Marginal studies have become imperative in a world increasingly divided into haves and have-nots. Byron (sociology and anthropology, University of Wales) brings together a selection of nine cases from marginal regions of Europe to provide an overview across geographic, economic, social, and cultural aspects of marginality. Contributors in geography, anthropology, and rural studies address the changing development discourse, the marketing of marginality and history, and resources and constraints in community development.
