This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book deals in different ways with experiences of spatialized injustice in the contemporary city. It addresses shocking aspects of city life produced by social inequality and examines how social exclusion and diverse forms of social violence are contested, debated, and represented. The book addresses urban space as a site and object of struggle between social groups and reveals how in these struggles space, social inequality and social difference, inscribed in physical and symbolic boundaries, intersect. It reveals variegated ways of how ‘territories of injustice’ are fought over. The book explores spatialized social boundaries, established through social differences that result from unequal access to and unequal distribution of resources and social opportunities.
