The Spaces of the Modern City: Imaginaries, Politics, and Everyday Life Paperback - 2008
by Gyan Prakash (Editor); Kevin M. Kruse (Editor)
From the rear cover
"This is a very ambitious collection of diverse, high quality essays. Prakash is certainly right that the study of the modern city is stuck in the literature of European metropolises, and I fully agree with the direction he stakes out in his introduction. The Spaces of the Modern City may be worth its price simply for the introduction."--Thomas Bender, author of The Unfinished City: New York and the Metropolitan Idea
"This is an interesting and substantial collection of essays. Combining conceptual sophistication with rich historical studies, the book moves beyond familiar reference points in debates about urban modernity to open up nuanced perspectives on experiences in a wide range of places and periods. The volume makes a significant addition to the growing literature on cities and urbanism."--David Pinder, Queen Mary, University of London
"Its global reach and attention to history make this wonderfully ambitious collection unusual. It is very much in line, in terms of scope and conception, with where historically minded urban studies should be heading. Its interdisciplinarity, determination to look beyond the typical Western cities, and insistence on urban centers remaining the source of local concerns--all this is to the good. This is a real landmark volume."--Jeffrey Wasserstrom, author of China's Brave New World: And Other Tales for Global Times.
