She argues that historical and geographical configurations of monetized governance, including landlords, employers and inter-scalar state practices, have served to reproduce urban displacements and obfuscate their gendered, class and racialized underpinnings. The outcome is the everyday facilitation and normalization of urban poverty and social marginalization on one side, and capital accumulation on the other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilding on Soederberg's previous book \u003ci\u003eDebtfare States and the Poverty Industry\u003c\/i\u003e, this accessible and interdisciplinary text will be useful to academics and students in political science, sociology, geography, urban studies, labour studies, European studies and gender studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanne Soederberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367236176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367236175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Susanne Soederberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086507258111,"sku":"9780367236175","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a0d728e-650e-4867-bfc4-5724d8f66b18.jpg?v=1769095066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-displacements-susanne-soederberg-9780367236175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
