“…While the early literature on marginality that emerged in the 1930s focused on the lack of integration of the marginalised into dominant groups (Dunne, 2005), more recent scholars have addressed the linkages between marginality and poverty (Husmann, 2016; Kumar & Yashiro, 2014; Zulfiqar et al, 2014), considering marginality as the root cause (Callo‐Concha et al, 2014; Gatzweiler et al, 2011; von Braun & Gatzweiler, 2014) as well as a consequence of poverty (Gatzweiler & Baumüller, 2014). These perspectives prioritise structural and systemic circumstances which trap people in poverty and deprivation and explain marginality's fixed state or condition that a community or country is in using social, ecological or geographical (Gatzweiler et al, 2011; Graw & Husmann, 2014; Messerli et al, 2015; Timsina, 2002) and/or spatial factors (Husmann, 2016).…”
