About the Book

This work discusses the role that marginality has had, has today, and is going to have in the future. The Commission on Dynamics of Marginal and Critical Regions held its annual conference in Harare, Zimbabwe in July 1997. During that conference, a series of papers were presented and this volume includes those that have been chosen after rewriting and reviewing. The different articles of this volume reflect the various aspects of marginality currently existing in the world. It is the intention of the Commission to pursue research that would eventually result in a more coherent approach towards the issues of marginality in space. The articles in this volume are grouped under three main parts. The first part discusses the role of theory and also methodological aspects and approaches towards the question of marginality. The second part gives a "time-space" perspective by examining the past, present and future aspects of marginality. The third part is dedicated to chapters giving empirical evidence about the changes in existing marginality and possible future implementations. The conclusions of the book aim to summarize the various, and sometimes conflicting aspects of marginality and its "images" both in space and time.
