      abstract = {"In this theoretically challenging and empirically well  researched volume, the protracted temporariness of camps is  explained by looking at the contentious politics between  state and non-state actors."--Donatella della Porta, Scuola  Normale Superiore, Italy. This book interrogates the  persistence of Roma and migrant segregation in camps in  order to understand how the creation of temporary  enclosures can lead to enduring marginalisation. Persistent  temporariness has been widely acknowledged as a common  aspect of these camps, yet it remains largely  under-theorised. Gaja Maestri unpacks the notion of camp  persistence to delineate its different regimes and to  investigate contributing factors. In order to do so, she  develops a comparison between Italy and France and offers a  new theorisation of the camp as a site of contentious  politics, where the interaction between governmental and  non-governmental actors produces different temporal  arrangements and forms of segregation. Temporary Camps,  Enduring Segregation will be of interest to scholars of  political sociology, European comparative politics, and  urban geography, specifically to those in the field of camp  studies, racial segregation, Romani studies, and urban  social movements.--},
