Описание: Urban decline is the deterioration of the inner city often caused by lack of investment and maintenance. Urban deprivation is a standard of leaving below that of the majority in a particular society that involves hardships and lack of access to resources. Urban decay has no single cause; it results from combinations of inter-related socio-economic conditions -- including the citys urban planning decisions, tight rent control, the poverty of the local populace, the construction of freeway roads and rail road lines that bypass the area, depopulation by suburbanisation of peripheral lands, real estate neighbourhood redlining, and immigration restrictions. Places suffering from urban deprivation have visible differences in housing and economic opportunities been the rich living alongside poor people. The inner city areas of many Global cities have an image of decay with poverty, pollution, crime, overcrowding, poor housing conditions and unemployment. Such problems are more prevalent in inner-city areas than in other areas of the city. Deprivation has been caused by old industries closing down and increasing the unemployment levels which are not tackled due to the old workers not being skilled enough to work in these new factories or line of jobs. This Book, Urban Deprivation and the Inner City, provides an interpretation of inner city problems by examining the processes which fashion them. It presents the studies, which looks at the historical growth and decline of present-day cities. Contributors draw on the efficacy of government policy and the major attempts to pull together the policy implications of their analyses, with many critical of government inner city strategies.

Since the 1950s, Latina activist Dolores Huerta has been a fervent leader and organizer in the struggle for farmworkers’ rights within the Latina/o community. A cofounder of the United Farm Workers union in the 1960s alongside César Chávez, Huerta was a union vice president for nearly four decades before starting her own foundation in the early 2000s. She continues to act as a dynamic speaker, passionate lobbyist, and dedicated figure for social and political change, but her crucial contributions and commanding presence have often been overshadowed by those of Chávez and other leaders in the Chicana/o movement. In this new study, Stacey K. Sowards closely examines Huerta’s rhetorical skills both in and out of the public eye and defines Huerta’s vital place within Chicana/o history.
Referencing the theoretical works of Pierre Bourdieu, Chela Sandoval, Gloria Anzaldúa, and others, Sowards closely analyzes Huerta’s speeches, letters, and interviews. She shows how Huerta navigates the complex intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, language, and class through the myriad challenges faced by women activists of color. Sowards’s approach to studying Huerta’s rhetorical influence offers a unique perspective for understanding the transformative relationship between agency and social justice.
