Ghetto
The Invention of a Place, the History of an Idea
Mitchell Duneier
The book traces the evolution of the concept of the ghetto, from its origins in the Jewish quarters of European cities to its contemporary association with African American urban life in the United States. It examines how the term has been shaped by centuries of history, social policy, and scholarly discourse, impacting the lives of those who reside in so-called ghettos.
