marginalization
Marginalization (from the Latin margo "edge": deportation to the sideline) is a social process in which population groups are pushed to the " edge of society " and can therefore only participate little in economic, cultural and political life. In extreme cases, marginalization ends up in illness or even starvation for those affected. Marginalization is a form of acculturation and is often related to the abandonment of cultural or ethnic identity .
The existence in the marginal areas of a social group , stratum or class is also referred to as marginality ("marginal existence"). A classic example is the slums ( slums ) of cities in developing countries , for example in the Indian Mumbai or in the Peruvian Lima .
In 2002, the American political scientist Iris Marion Young identified marginalization as one of five factors that collectively characterize “ social oppression ”, alongside injustice , violence , cultural imperialism and powerlessness .
