Inhaltsangabe

An accessible, informative, and intrepid insight into urban violence through a decolonial and multidisciplinary lens. 

Placing peripheralized people at its center, Urban Violence and Marginalised Communities unpacks how urban violence must be understood from multiple points of view, namely through the distinct perspectives of powerholders, decision-makers, law enforcers, urban planners, creative artists, and particularly from the lived standpoint of less empowered communities. Combining social science approaches with explorations in film, media, and the performing arts, the volume challenges conventional, stereotypical, and reductive definitions and conceptions of urban violence by placing local marginalized communities at the forefront of a multilogue and embracing inclusive, innovative, and unconventional analytical and practical approaches and frameworks. A diverse cohort of contributors offers policy-focused counternarratives and potential solutions to systematized forms of overt, covert, and hybrid forms of urban violence(s).
