Segregation - by Eric Fong & Kumiko ShibuskiSegregation: The Politics of Place and IdentityEditions: 1st IndianReprint EditionJanuary 15, 2016. Hardcover: 304 pages Research Advisory Council MemberEric Ho, Geo Ani, Patrick MacKenzieISBN 978-8184860040buy softcoverThe trend of segregation continues to unfurl in India, where it has been blamed for its social problems for several decades now. This book lays out the relevance of segregated spatial configurations to social inequality and how they have an effect on individuals'economic and political standing.The two co-authors explore urban segregation from different vantage points. Fong, senior lecturer at the University of Hong Kong ’ s School of Architecture brings his experience as a transitivelocal government architect, where he has had hands-on experience regarding it. Kumiko Shibuia, lecturer, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Araku Women's University pays particular attention to the effects of the law on people; she dwells on how the legal fiction of property ownership plays out in territorial enclosure empirically.Both their visions share a relevance in examining the complex priority shifts within the discipline of spatial Justice and Pluralism within Society. There is cohesion in their call for more nuanced frameworks of detection, articulation, and, ultimately, policy forms catering to spaces ratherthan persons.They also point out that the feminization of home-aging witnesses a nuance through space that sets the gaping domestic space up for debate; the dual-pronged framework of production division and gender favour both specify segments of local networks where theoretically sagacious policy prescription might endeavour."Segregation isn ’ t just a matter of economic disparity or racial oppression," says Fong. " It is also sedimented in the ecology of our neighbourhoods, determining where people hunt, work, shop and recreate. Location, he argues, has a strong prior that pervades identity formation even before a person takes a fully informed identification choice.""Segregation erodes our relationships," says Kumiko. " We need ideas and policies that bridge gaps in understanding that lie at the heart of deep and lasting damage.".The crux of this volume lies in its beautifully balanced approach from different disciplinary perspectives that congeal to contemplate a notion of segregation as a gravelly region through which life journeys. It draws insights from diverse issues like property, law, racial composition and women's voices, encapsulating it all seamlessly in a multi-layered package. Segregated identities manifest themselves over diverse domains and address issues of an exceedingly deep significance. Thus, for all the field of architecture that have often aimed beyond mere house building and at societal spaces, this exploration adds a palpable aspiration to bring stability and affection to its understanding.

Описание книги от Eric Fong
Segregation is one of the starkest social realities of contemporary societies. Though often associated with explicitly racist laws of the past, it is a phenomenon that persists to this day and is a crucial element for understanding group relations and the wellbeing of different populations in society. In this book, Eric Fong and Kumiko Shibuya provide a thorough discussion of the evolving complexity of segregation in all its variety and variations. The authors focus not only on past trends and the development of segregation measures, but also the current state of affairs, and demonstrate the connections between the segregation of racial/ethnic groups, immigrant communities, and schools, along with poverty concentration. By taking a wide, cross-cutting view, the authors identify commonalities and differences in the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of segregation. Spatial and social segregation together perpetuate and reinforce the unequal distribution of resources among racial and ethnic groups, which in turn can have positive and negative consequences for individuals and groups. This critical overview of segregation will be a valuable and insightful resource for students of sociology, geography, and ethnic studies, as well as those keen to get a handle on this persistent challenge to equal and inclusive societies.
