Summary:

"In this pair of essays Richard Sennett visits two of the world's greatest cities at crucial moments in their history to meditate on the condition of exile in both geographical and psychic space: the Jewish ghetto of Renaissance Venice, where state-imposed outsideridom was translated into a rich community identity; and nineteenth-century Paris, a magnet for political exiles, where the experience of displacement seeped into the city's culture at large." -- Back cover.
