Noir Urbanisms – Dystopic Images of the Modern City: Publications in Partnership with the Shelby Cullom Davis Center at Princeton University

"This collection of essays is a welcome addition to urban cultural studies. By bridging the history of dystopian imaginings and urban social and cultural history, it opens up new territory for interdisciplinary discussion."--Jordan Sand, Georgetown University

"This is an exciting collection ranging across an impressive disciplinary span, including not only history and film studies but also anthropology, geography, and modern languages. The volume combines scholarly rigor with political and social engagement, and is full of eloquence and insight. It speaks to researchers across the arts, humanities, and social sciences who are concerned with the place of urban spaces in the dystopic visions of modernity."--Jackie Stacey, University of Manchester
