The Ghetto in Global History by Wendy Z Goldman
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."Uncovering lines of connection and distinction stretching from Cinquecento Venice to apartheid Johannesburg via Nazi-controlled Bialystok and segregated Brooklyn, The Ghetto in Global History provides essential new insights into the making, remaking and unmaking of the ghetto as idea, social experience and technology of power"
Daniel Matlin, King's College London, UK
"Wendy Z. Goldman and Joe Trotter, Jr bring together many of the most important historians on ghettos in The Ghetto in Global History. The volume as a whole is an admirable attempt to breathe new life into the study of the classical tradition."
