It presents ethnographic case studies from a range of cities affected by globalization processes such as neoliberal urban policies, privatization of urban space, continued migration and spatialized ethnic tension. What has changed since the appearance of \u003ci\u003ePurity and Danger\u003c\/i\u003e? How have anthropological views on pollution changed accordingly? This volume focuses on cultural meanings and values that are attached to conceptions of 'clean' and 'dirty', purity and impurity, healthy and unhealthy environments, and addresses the implications of pollution with regard to discrimination, class, urban poverty, social hierarchies and ethnic segregation in cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eveline D?r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782385088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782385080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Eveline D?r","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058390528255,"sku":"9781782385080","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af3aff0e-fca3-4dbd-a7d0-020ae68926d8.jpg?v=1685052283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-pollution-eveline-drr-9781782385080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
