Few words are as ideologically charged as "ghetto," a term that has described legally segregated Jewish quarters, dense immigrant enclaves, Nazi holding pens, and black neighborhoods in the United States. Daniel B. Schwartz reveals how the history of ghettos is tied up with struggle and argument over the slippery meaning of a word.

En combinant les perspectives des sciences des religions et des études urbaines avec l'analyse d'événements et de mises en scène artistiques et musicales, le présent ouvrage montre comment les acteurs musulmans performent leurs appartenances de manière situationnelle, dans le but de " faire communauté " , mais aussi de se faire une place dans des espaces et des entités qu'il convient d'appréhender à différentes échelles : du voisinage de quartier aux réseaux transnationaux, en passant par les associations et les instances politiques. Cette perspective invite donc à reconnaître, du côté des acteurs, la pluralité des appartenances, des raisons d'agir et des régimes d'engagement, et du côté des terrains étudiés, la pluralité des scènes de visibilité, des territoires aussi bien que des logiques qui sous-tendent la vie publique.

Loïc Wacquant is one of the most influential sociological theorists of the contemporary era with his research and writings resonating widely across the social sciences. This edited collection critically responds to Wacquant’s distinct approach to understanding the contemporary urban condition in advanced capitalist societies. It comprises chapters focused on Europe and North America from leading international scholars and new emergent voices, which chart new empirical, theoretical and methodological territory. Pivoting on the relationship between class, ethnicity and the state in the (re-)making of urban marginality, the volume takes stock of Wacquant’s body of work and assesses its value as a springboard for rethinking urban inequality in polarizing times. Heeding Wacquant’s call for constant theoretical critique and development in understanding dynamic urban relations and processes, the contributions challenge, develop and refine Wacquant’s framework, while also synthesizing it with other perspectives and bringing it into dialogue with new areas of inquiry. How can Wacquant’s work aid the empirical understanding of today’s complex urban inequalities? And how can empirical investigation and theoretical synthesis aid the development of Wacquant’s framework? The diverse contributors to the collection ask these, and other, searching questions – and Wacquant responds to this critique in the final chapter. This book will be of interest to scholars engaged in understanding the drivers, contexts, and potential responses to contemporary urban marginality.
