Abstract
This book looks into different forms of social exclusion in different societies or contexts. The different approaches throughout the chapters demonstrate how social exclusion is conceptualised and studied in multiple ways. In addition to cases where social exclusion is fuelled by deprivation of economic resources and political and social rights, other cases highlight social exclusion fuelled by social constructs or cultural norms. Irrespective of its religious, political, social, or cultural underpinnings, different forms of exclusion often overlap with gender, ethnicity, disability, and other social categories (Silver, H. F., Chronic Poverty Research Centre. Sociology, Brown University, 2007), making an intersectional approach essential. While highlighting an intersectional perspective to social exclusion, this book aims at adding to the existing literature on social exclusion. The novelty of this book lies in the fact that some of its chapters contribute significant insights from social exclusion case studies with a regional focus from the South and the West. Also, some chapters contribute and operationalise theoretical and methodological perspectives to understanding social exclusion.
