Marginal SpacesMichael P. Smith Transaction Publishers, 1. jan. 1995 - 146 sider Five case studies combine structural and historical analysis of the moves of powerful social interests to dominate space, with an ethnographically grounded account of the tactics and strategies developed by various marginalized social groups to reclaim dominated space for their own uses.
