"The Two Faces of Fear draws on two years of qualitative fieldwork conducted during a violent turf war in urban Mexico to reveal how fear both isolates and further concentrates people and resources deepening inequality. Fear is a powerful polarizer. It deepens classism and racism in everyday relations. It also quickly aggravates socio-spatial inequality. In Monterrey, Mexico, fear accelerated the spatial concentration of urban wealth within one of its municipalities-San Pedro, one of the wealthiest in Latin America-where nightlife and public space thrived as both were obliterated elsewhere. More broadly, the book puts forth a new approach to the study of emotion as a problem and as a process, centering the experience, practices, and resources of those who fear. Fear may pose similar problems for all at the onset of a crisis but as people draw on vastly unequal resources to recreate their lives, they widen the gaps"
