Regeneration, Citizenship, and Justice in the American City since the 1970s

Beschreibung

This interdisciplinary study of the post-industrial American city examines the linkages between urban regeneration policies, citizenship, and social justice in the neoliberal city. It foregrounds social capital, community building, and sustainability as key discourses and practices of re-configuring and re-inhabiting the urban.

This book investigates post-industrial American cities as sites of struggle where political identities are mobilized and new modes of citizenship are articulated. This interdisciplinary analysis gleans insights from anthropology, literary criticism, cultural studies, geography, political philosophy, and urban studies. Drawing on scholarly, journalistic, essayistic, and fictional texts, the author examines the linkages between urban regeneration policies, citizenship, and social justice in the neoliberal city. She foregrounds grassroots and official strategies of community building, civic revival and democratic governance, as well as the right to the city, localism, and sustainability as key discourses and practices of re-configuring and re-inhabiting the urban.
