Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheralization refers to the process of marginalizing groups of people or communities by segregating them from the economic mainstream. This results in these groups receiving fewer benefits and opportunities from the larger economic system. This process is evident in both the lives of Aboriginal people on reserves in Alberta and the citizens of Luanda. Elimination, liberalization, and commodification do not accurately describe this process.
