Description
Richard Sennett explores two cities at pivotal moments in their history to reflect on exile and displacement: Renaissance Venice's Jewish Ghetto, where state-imposed outsiderdom fostered a rich community identity; and 19th-century Paris, a magnet for political exiles, whose experience of displacement influenced the city's culture.
In these essays, Sennett meditates on the complexities of exile in both geographical and psychic space. He examines how cities can become synonymous with exclusion and marginalization, yet also provide spaces for community and belonging.
