The Ghetto in Global History: 1500 to the Present: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Ghetto in Global History: 1500 to the Present" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The Ghetto in Global History explores the stubborn tenacity of the ghetto over time. As a concept, policy, and experience, the ghetto has served to maintain social, religious, and racial hierarchies over the past five centuries. Transnational in scope, this book allows readers to draw thought-provoking comparisons across time and space among ghettos that are not usually studied alongside one another.The volume is structured around four main case studies, covering the first ghettos created for Jews in early modern Europe, the Nazis use of ghettos, the enclosure of African Americans in segregated areas in the United States, and the extreme segregation of blacks in South Africa. The contributors explore issues of discourse, power, and control; examine the internal structures of authority that prevailed; and document the lived experiences of ghetto inhabitants. By discussing ghettos as both tools of control and as sites of resistance, this book offers an unprecedented and fascinating range of interpretations of the meanings of the ghetto throughout history. It allows us to trace the circulation of the idea and practice over time and across continents, revealing new linkages between widely disparate settings.Geographically and chronologically wide-ranging, The Ghetto in Global History will prove indispensable reading for all those interested in the history of spatial segregation, power dynamics, and racial and religious relations across the globe.

This book is dedicated with love to two strong, tough, and indomitable women:
Judith Trotsky Goldman and Eva Mae Trotter Powell
Judith (Yehudas) Trotsky Goldman (September 16, 1929December 25, 2015) was born and raised in a tenement on the Lower East Side of New York, the quintessential ghetto for Jewish immigrants to America. Her father was a leatherworker, and the whole family joined the fight for workers rights. She taught generations of children in the neighborhood at Seward Park High School and served as union chapter leader of the United Federation of Teachers. The neighborhood was poor, but she remembered when the line of children waiting to enter the Public Library on East Broadway stretched around the block, and the Garden Cafeteria was filled with communists, socialists, and anarchists arguing over politics. Scorning white flight to the suburbs, she raised her children on the Lower East Side. We grew up with Jewish, Italian, Chinese, Irish, African American, Puerto Rican, and Dominican neighbors. People sat outside on benches in the hot summer days and visited each other in the evenings. Women did laundry together and discussed what they would cook for dinner that night. They knew each others children, celebrated the milestones of life together, and created an entire world.
Eva Mae Trotter Powell (August 12, 1937) was born and raised in McDowell County, West Virginia. She is the second child of Joe William Trotter, Sr. and Thelma Odell Foster Trotter. She attended grade school in Hartwell and Berwind and graduated from Excelsior High School, near War, West Virginia. Following graduation from high school, she joined her older sister, Josie Lee Trotter Harris (19362016) in Massillon, Ohio. She worked a variety of jobs, married, raised her own three children, and provided consistent emotional and material support to me and my siblings among the Trotter-14. As the citys industrial workforce downsized and laid off workers, she also joined her first husband Marvin Jones and operated a neighborhood restaurant and bar called Evas. The Jones bar and grill provided an important place for an entire generation of young men and women to weather the storm of hard times in the citys shrinking manufacturing economy. Eva also became a pillar of our spiritual community at Friendship Baptist Church. But this book is also a tribute to all my 10 Sisters (Josie, Dee, Bobbie, Isalene, Doris, Mecca, Jessie, Voncille, and Sakina as well as Eva) who surmounted their own unique barriers and contributed to the well-being of the Trotter Family and the surrounding African American community.
