This groundbreaking book is a pioneering exploration into the intricate dynamics of marginalization and significant events, marking a significant milestone in academic research. Marginalization, a pervasive issue across diverse fields such as geography, public health, education, and media studies, has garnered increasing attention in recent years. However, the field of event studies has remained relatively under-explored, despite its potential to shed light on the complex interplay between events and marginalized individuals and communities.

To address this gap, this volume employs a multi-disciplinary and critical approach to examine events as they intersect with marginalization. Drawing upon a diverse range of theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches from fields such as critical event studies, anthropology, cultural studies, tourism, sociology, and management, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the "how" and "why" behind marginalization and its profound impact on the lives of individuals and communities.

Spanning international boundaries through the contributions of authors from various parts of the world, including South Africa, the United Kingdom, Italy, Afghanistan, the United States, Brazil, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand, the book presents a rich tapestry of case studies that vividly illustrate the complexities and nuances of marginalization. These case studies provide valuable insights into the experiences of marginalized individuals and communities, shedding light on their struggles, resilience, and strategies for empowerment.

This book is an indispensable resource for students and researchers in the fields of critical event studies, anthropology, cultural studies, tourism, sociology, and management. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the complex dynamics between events and marginalization, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by marginalized individuals and communities. By challenging prevailing narratives and promoting a more inclusive and equitable society, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue on social justice and equality.
