«El quart món» is Alex Masllorens's essay on marginalisation and poverty, published by Deriva Editorial in hardback (150 pages, in Catalan).
The essay draws on the concept of the «fourth world» to refer to the population living on the margins of society: people in extreme poverty, homeless and excluded from welfare systems. Masllorens analyses the causes and forms of this marginalisation and reflects on how society tends to render it invisible.
Published in 1999, it opens the «Els 7 mars» collection as number 1. This revised, expanded and updated edition includes bibliographic references (pp. 149-150).
For those studying or interested in social marginalisation, poverty and homelessness.
