商品簡介
Western culture is based on exclusion. Its society places 'others' - women, blacks, children, the old, those with alternative lifestyles, gays, the disabled - as outsiders. At the core of this marginalization is the tendency of powerful groups to 'purify' and dominate space, to create fear of minorities and to ultimately exclude their voices and their knowledge.
Geographies of Exclusion analyses the construction of socio-spatial boundaries along the lines of gender, colour, sexuality, lifestyle, age and disability, exploring contemporary experiences of and writings on home, the community, the city and the state.
