Cody Hochstenbach doet onderzoek naar de woningmarkt en publiceerde in 2022 het invloedrijke Uitgewoond. Hij schreef daarin onder andere over zijn vader die tijdelijk dakloos was en de sociale huurwoning van zijn moeder. Na publicatie belde zijn moeder hem boos op: waarom moest hij zo nodig de vuile was buiten hangen? Dit telefoontje bracht hem een nieuw inzicht: schaamte is cruciaal om de wooncrisis te begrijpen. Door schaamte centraal te stellen, schijnt Cody met dit vlammende én persoonlijke verhaal een nieuw licht op...

In North-American and European cities, youth live in precarious social and economic conditions. The issue of employment has become a political problem. In this volume, sociological, economical and ethnographical perspectives are used to explain ethnic discrimination, inequalities at school, unemployment and marginalization. Work remains a central value in young peoples' lives who not only are victimized but also try to find escapes. Originally in French, this extended and updated book contains contributions by Enrico Pugliese, Saskia Sassen, Min Zhou, François Dubet, Paul Anisef, Paul Axelrod, Ida Susser and others.

While 97 percent of all American cities are smaller than 50,000 and millions of Americans experience civic life in these communities, what we know about their politics and governance is limited, particularly how local board systems operate, who the board members are, what motivates them to serve, and what they think about their experiences. Drawing on a unique and extensive set of survey data from board members, mayors, and city councilors in sixty cities across six states, Government in the Twilight Zone significantly expands our knowledge of small city boards and politics. By embedding the empirical research in the historical trajectory of small towns, John R. Baker provides a rich narrative that discusses the role of entities such as planning commissions, parks and recreation boards, and zoning appeals boards. He also clarifies how board and commission members are recruited in small cities, explains how these organizations work to make the decisions required of them, and reveals what they and their city councilors and mayors think about their importance and effectiveness.
