This book looks into different forms of social exclusion in a variety of societies or contexts. The diverse approaches used throughout the chapters demonstrate how social exclusion is conceptualized and studied in multiple ways. In addition to cases where social exclusion is fueled by deprivation of economic resources, political and social rights, there are other cases that highlight social exclusion fueled by social constructs or cultural norms. Irrespective of its religious, political, social, or cultural underpinnings, different forms of exclusion often overlap with gender, ethnicity, disability, and other social categories, making an intersectional approach essential.
