基于纵向的民族志工作，这本关于城市穷人政治的特刊的作者研究了这些地方的地区性事件和学术传统如何影响城市穷人和政治类别在学术和公共话语中出现的方式。正如以下讨论所表明的那样，城市进程和城市形态之间的关系是一种不稳定的关系，而这种不稳定反过来又对穷人如何成为政治参与者产生决定性的影响。此外，自由形式的公民身份只是通过穷人对国家的主张而实现的一种形式。更重要的是，这些文章表明，支撑穷人生活的社会性正在不断地被超越物质匮乏的奢侈经历所塑造。
Based on longitudinal ethnographic work, the authors of this special issue on the politics of the urban poor examine how regional events as well as scholarly traditions in these places have influenced the way the categories of the urban poor and of politics have emerged in both scholarly and public discourse. As the discussions that follow make clear, the relation between urban processes and city forms is a volatile one, and this volatility in turn has a decisive effect on how the poor emerge as political actors. Further, liberal forms of citizenship are but one form among others that become materialized through the claims that the poor make on the state. More importantly, the essays show that the socialities that undergird the lives of the poor are constantly being shaped by the experiences of precarity that go beyond material scarcity.
