Summary:

"The volume offers a close look at three marginalised groups: Irish travellers, squatters and homeless people. The study's objectives are to understand more about these socially marginal groups and how individuals within them position themselves vis-à-vis mainstream society and to investigate the groups' diverse and provisional relationship with space that challenges mainstream society's spatial logic"-- Provided by publisher.
