description Placing peripheralised people at its centre, this edited collection unpacks how urban violence must be understood from multiple points of view: powerholders, decision makers, law enforcers, built environment professionals, creative artists, and particularly from the lived standpoint of less empowered communities. It illustrates how listening to often unheard voices of the excluded, disproportionately experiencing daily precarity and violence, can inform and broaden our shared understanding of urban violence. Urban Violence and Marginalised Communities presents a nuanced and revealing picture of how urban violence manifests and operates in multiple and unprecedented ways, challenging the common conception of urban violence solely as criminal physical acts performed by predictable perpetrators. This volume blurs geographical borders through an equitable and representative synthesis of Global South and North interpretations, focusing on a range of marginalised communities. The chapters are inventively crafted as local-meets-global case studies, with a broad regional sweep from Brazil, US, UK and Ukraine to India, South Africa and Palestine. This is mirrored in the volume’s multidisciplinary diversity of topical themes including migration and politics, policing, law and order, built environment/architecture, film, media and performing arts.
