La 4ème de couv. indique : "Souvent attachée aux notions de périphérie, de limite, ou de frontière, la marge renvoie à des réalités complexes, plus ou moins visibles, cachées, en tous les cas difficiles à identifier et à circonscrire dans le temps et dans l'espace. Définir la marge revient à comprendre sa participation dans le fonctionnement du système territorial dans lequel elle s'intègre, selon sa plus ou moins grande excentricité. Au sein du territoire français, la question au programme permet de décliner, par son caractère transversal, l'ensemble des dynamiques sociales et spatiales ainsi que les trajectoires qui en découlent. À travers douze entrées thématiques et des éclairages ciblés, les auteurs proposent d'explorer les logiques de la fabrique des marges. Ce manuel s'adresse en premier lieu aux étudiants et futurs enseignants préparant la question aux concours du CAPES et aux agrégations de géographie et d'histoire. Il s'agit ainsi de présenter un cadrage général du sujet, d'en définir les principaux concepts et enjeux d'analyse et de présenter des exemples et des études de cas concrets mobilisables dans le cadre de la préparation. Chaque chapitre étant réalisé par un spécialiste du thème, ce livre pourra également intéresser des étudiants en master qui souhaiteraient préciser leurs connaissances dans les domaines tant de la géographie que de l'aménagement du territoire.".

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a mass exodus of India's migrant workers from the cities back to the villages. This book explores the social conditions and concerns around health, labour, migration, and gender that were thrown up as a result of this forced migration. The book examines the failings of the public health systems and the state response to address the humanitarian crisis which unfolded in the middle of the pandemic. It highlights how the pandemic-lockdown disproportionately affected marginalised social groups - Dalits and the Adivasi communities, women and Muslim workers. The book reflects on the socio-economic vulnerabilities of migrant workers, their rights to dignity, questions around citizenship, and the need for robust systems of democratic and constitutional accountability. The chapters also critically look at the gendered vulnerabilities of women and non-cis persons in both public and private spaces, the exacerbation of social stratification and prejudices, incidents of intimidation by the administration and the police forces, and proposed labour reforms which might create greater insecurities for migrant workers. This important and timely book will be of great interest to researchers and students of sociology, public policy, development studies, gender studies, labour and economics, and law.
