Description
Across history the ghetto has served to maintain social, religious, and racial hierarchies. This volume is structured around four case studies: the first ghettos created for Jews in early modern Europe; the Nazi use of ghettos; the enclosure of African Americans in segregated areas in the U.S.; and the segregation of blacks in South Africa.
