Summary:

"Intersectionality and the City enriches our understanding of urban inequality and violence by bringing together international scholars who integrate both intersectionality and spatiality in their analysis. The book provides readers with a deeper conceptual and empirical understanding of intersectionality and its relevance to urban inequality and violence. With 16 contributions and international case studies on how different forms of urban violence are experienced and resisted, the book offers both theoretical insights and practical applications on how we can understand and study contemporary urban life from an intersectional perspective. By emphasizing the value of an interdisciplinary approach, Intersectionality and the City will attract students and scholars of urban inequality from a range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, geography, architecture, urban studies and urban planning".
