In \u003ci\u003eEndangered City\u003c\/i\u003e, Austin Zeiderman focuses on this new political imperative to govern the present in anticipation of future harm. Through ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Bogotá, Colombia, he examines how state actors work to protect the lives of poor and vulnerable citizens from a range of threats, including environmental hazards and urban violence. By following both the governmental agencies charged with this mandate and the subjects governed by it, \u003ci\u003eEndangered City\u003c\/i\u003e reveals what happens when logics of endangerment shape the terrain of political engagement between citizens and the state. The self-built settlements of Bogotá's urban periphery prove a critical site from which to examine the rising effect of security and risk on contemporary cities and urban life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Zeiderman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822361626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAustin Zeiderman is an anthropologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44422956417139,"sku":"9780822361626","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_b5abb50d-56de-42f5-9fa4-c5a4699b42cd.jpg?v=1772543169","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/endangered-city-the-politics-of-security-and-risk-in-bogotza-9780822361626","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
