Homelessness, AIDS, and Stigmatization: The NIMBY Syndrome in the United States at the End of the Twentieth Century (Oxford Geographical and Environmental Studies Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In AIDS, Homelessness, and Stigmatization, Lois Takahashi takes a close look at the social forces behind local-level community opposition to human service facilities associated with homelessness and AIDS. Using both quantitative and qualitative data and methods, She argues that this community opposition is a product of the changing social construction of stigma, or the ways in which we define who is acceptable and who is not. The book demonstrates that the social and spatial construction of stigma can be a useful theoretical concept for understanding ongoing and future community response. Throughout, the author stresses the importance of economic, welfare state, and demographic restructuring in community response to homelessness and HIV/AIDS, and examines the role of institutions, such as municipal governments and the courts, in defining and adjudicating local facility siting disputes.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Homelessness, AIDS, and Stigmatization: The NIMBY Syndrome in the United States at the End of the Twentieth Century argues that it is the rise in community opposition across race, class, and region that should be considered in terms of the changing social construction of stigma, i.e. the ways in which people define those who are acceptable and those who are not. Three particular themes underlie the arguments made throughout thisbook: (a) the importance of economic, welfare state, and demographic restructuring in community response to homelessness and HIV/AIDS; (b) the significance of the social and spatial construction of stigma forongoing and future community response; and (c) the role of institutions such as municipal governments and the courts in defining and adjudicating local facility siting disputes. To explore these themes the author uses both quantitative and qualitative data and methods. Oxford Geographical and Environmental Studies aims to publish the best original research studies in the related fields of geography and environmental studies. Its scope is international, presenting a broadand diverse range of scholarly approaches from across the world. Series Editors: Gordon Clark, Andrew Goudie, and Ceri Peach Homelessness, AIDS, and Stigmatization shows how society's view of who is acceptable and who is not defines the opposition faced by many human service facilities at the local level. Homelessness and HIV/AIDS provide the focus for exploring the NIMBY syndrome, through a wide range of empirical examples and case studies.
