This book interrogates the persistence of Roma and migrant segregation in camps in order to understand how the creation of temporary enclosures can lead to enduring marginalisation. Persistent temporariness has been widely acknowledged as a common aspect of these camps, yet it remains largely under-theorised. Gaja Maestri unpacks the notion of camp persistence to delineate its different regimes and to investigate contributing factors. In order to do so, she develops a comparison between Italy and France and offers a new theorisation of the camp as a site of contentious politics, where the interaction between governmental and non-governmental actors produces different temporal arrangements and forms of segregation. Temporary Camps, Enduring Segregation will be of interest to scholars of political sociology, European comparative politics, and urban geography, specifically to those in the field of camp studies, racial segregation, Romani studies, and urban social movements.

This timely and interdisciplinary book deals with urban marginality as a multi-faceted process of urban transformation that engenders a wide range of experiences world-wide. Through the application of new empirical material and novel theoretical syntheses that exceed conceptual binaries (East-West, North-South), the authors explore shifting contemporary experiences of marginality in various urban contexts in Eastern Europe (EE). The unique articulation between global processes – such as gentrification, financialization, racialization and spatialization – and the distinctive histories, contestations and dislocations that characterize EE cities calls for increasing scholarly attention. The volume explores new patterns and drivers of urban marginality and racialization, and at the same time connects these to wider problematics of “advanced capitalist” cities as well as to post-socialist and anti-colonial urbanisms. The fourteen chapters contribute to a more nuanced understanding of global urbanism that decentres dominant Anglophone conceptualisations. Contributions focus empirically and theoretically on Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. The volume is recommended for students and urban scholars in EE and beyond, but will also be of interest to activists involved in housing and urban justice as well as in broader struggles towards the anti-racist city.

In 2015 many camps were opened to accommodate newly arriving migrants in Berlin. Christian Sowa studies this form of accommodation. Moving beyond an exclusive focus on borders and migration, he argues that camp accommodation must be thought of and studied as part of the urban context and as a specific form of housing. The study provides an in-depth case study, discusses policy alternatives, argues for »housing for all instead of camps«, and contributes to bringing urban and migration studies into public discussion. In times of new waves of migration, the topic of migrant accommodation within urban environments remains highly relevant today.

This book tells the story of Metropoliz, a vacant salami factory located in the Eastern periphery of Rome (Italy) that was squatted in 2009 by homeless households with the cooperation of the Housing Rights Movement Blocchi Precari Metropolitani, and progressively reconverted into the house and museum spaces that form the Città Meticcia (the mestizo city). Through a vivid activist-ethnographic account, Margherita Grazioli suggests that Metropoliz exemplifies a practice of grassroots urban regeneration that speaks to the conflicted reconfiguration of real estate urban regimes in a post-crisis, post-neoliberal scenario. Using the contentious reappropriation of housing as a point of departure for claiming manifold rights, Metropoliz represents an alternative model of urbanity and habitation that will inspire contemporary urban social movements concerned with the demand of the ‘right to the city’, as well as those concerned with the ontology of the urban commons.

In Deporting Europeans, Ioana Vrabiescu examines how states within the European Union (EU) collaborate in the policing and deportation of EU citizens within EU territory. Vrabiescu argues that the deportation of EU citizens reifies existing inequalities between central states, like France, and peripheral states, like Romania. By highlighting the massive deportation of Romanians from France, Vrabiescu showcases these inequalities and the intricacies of EU geopolitics.

The devilish has long been integral to myths, legends, and folklore, firmly located in the relationships between good and evil, and selves and others. But how are ideas of evil constructed in current times and framed by contemporary social discourses? Modern Folk Devils builds on and works with Stanley Cohen’s theory on folk devils and moral panics to discuss the constructions of evil. The authors present an array of case-studies that illustrate how the notion of folk devils nowadays comes into play and animates ideas of otherness and evil throughout the world. Examining current fears and perceived threats, this volume investigates and analyzes how and why these devils are constructed. The chapters discuss how the devilish may take on many different forms: sometimes they exist only as a potential threat, other times they are a single individual or phenomenon or a visible group, such as refugees, technocrats, Roma, hipsters, LGBT groups, and rightwing politicians. Folk devils themselves are also given a voice to offer an essential complementary perspective on how panics become exaggerated, facts distorted, and problems acutely angled. Bringing together researchers from anthropology, sociology, political studies, ethnology, and criminology, the contributions examine cases from across the world spanning from Europe to Asia and Oceania.

The U.S. Armed Forces started integrating its services in 1948, and with that push, more African Americans started rising through the ranks to become officers, although the number of black officers has always been much lower than African Americans' total percentage in the military. Astonishingly, the experiences of these unknown reformers have largely gone unexamined and unreported, until now. The Black Officer Corps traces segments of the African American officers' experience from 1946-1973. From generals who served in the Pentagon and Vietnam, to enlisted servicemen and officers' wives, Isaac Hampton has conducted over seventy-five oral history interviews with African American officers. Through their voices, this book illuminates what they dealt with on a day to day basis, including cultural differences, racist attitudes, unfair promotion standards, the civil rights movement, Black Power, and the experience of being in ROTC at Historically Black Colleges. Hampton provides a nuanced study of the people whose service reshaped race relations in the U.S. Armed Forces, ending with how the military attempted to control racism with the creation of the Defense Race Relations Institute of 1971. The Black Officer Corps gives us a much fuller picture of the experience of black officers, and a place to start asking further questions.

Railroad Expansion examines the profound and often disruptive impact of railroad expansion in the Americas, focusing on its role in economic development, migration patterns, and the displacement of indigenous populations. The book argues that while railroads spurred economic progress, this growth came at a significant social and environmental cost. For example, railroad construction facilitated the transportation of goods and resources, enabling industries like agriculture and mining to flourish, but simultaneously encroached on native lands, leading to conflicts and forced displacement. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from economic history, Native American studies, and environmental history to offer a holistic understanding of the railroad's multifaceted impact. Beginning with the technological and financial aspects of railroad construction, the study progresses through the economics of railroad development, demographic shifts, and conflicts with indigenous tribes. The book concludes by assessing the long-term legacy of railroad expansion on the social, economic, and geographical landscape, providing readers with a nuanced perspective on this pivotal period in history.
