- Summary:
- Focuses on a range of literary and visual forms including novels, journalism, films (narrative and documentary), and photography to look at representations of ethnic and racial identities in relation to the development of urban culture in postindustrialised American cities. The concept of "urban space" organizes a series of themes that structure chapters on white paranoia and urban decline; memories of urban passage; the racialized underclass; urban crime and justice; and globalisation and citizenship.
