Theorizing The City

Theorizing The City written by Setha M. Low and has been published by Rutgers University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with Architecture categories.

Anthropological perspective are not often represented in urban studies, even though many anthropologist have been contributing actively to theory and research on urban poverty, racism, globalization, and architecture. Theorizing the City corrects this omission. Following a brief history of urban anthropology, emphasizing developments in the field during the 1990s, this volume presents twelve ethnographies of major cities in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Five images of the city-the divided city, the contested city, the global city, the modernist city, and the postmodern city-serve as frameworks for the essays. Each section highlights current research trends such as poststructural studies of race, class and gender in the urban context; political economic studies of transnational culture; and studies of the symbolic meanings and social production of urban spaces.

Both students and urban scholars will appreciate the critical way in which classical and contemporary debates on the nature of the city are presented.
