{"product_id":"dead-end-lives-daniel-briggs-9781447341697","title":"Dead-End Lives: Drugs and Violence in the City Shadows","description":"\"Julia\" nervously emerges from her shabby tent in the suburban wastelands on the outskirts of Madrid to face another day of survival in one of Europe's most problematic ghettos: she is homeless, wanted by the police, and addicted to heroin and cocaine. She is also five months pregnant and rarely makes contact with support services. Welcome to the city shadows in Valdemingez: a lawless landscape of drugs and violence where the third world meets the Wild West. Briggs and Monge entered this area with only their patience, some cigarettes and a mobile phone and collected vivid testimonies and images of Julia and others like her who live there. This important book documents what they found, locating these people's stories and situations in a political, economic and social context of spatial inequality and oppressive mechanisms of social control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Briggs, Rub駭 Monge Gamero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447341694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447341697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Daniel Briggs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066253471999,"sku":"9781447341697","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_711df469-aee8-469f-9464-9ae57e5cda68.jpg?v=1685406187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dead-end-lives-daniel-briggs-9781447341697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
