Recenzii
Offering a critical sociospatial approach and global contextualization, The New Urban Sociology provides the best overall understanding of the development, spatial forms, and character of multicentered metropolitan areas available to students of U.S. urban development. These perceptive sociologists give central attention to multifaceted push-pull factors in metropolitan growth, center real estate actors’ role in structuring growth, assess multiple urban impacts of systemic racism, and connect the conflicts of diverse political coalitions in regularly shaping urbanization processes.
Joe Feagin, Distinguished Professor, Texas A&M University, and author of Racist America (4th ed., Routledge, 2019).
The New Urban Sociology takes students on a journey into that many-splendored thing we call a city. It is an engaging compendium providing a broad history of the city, the wide range of sociological understanding of cities and urban life, and the ways in which cities globally now need to be understood more expansively in terms of the metropolitan region. The authors’ sociospatial approach allows a unique multi-layered view of how issues such as racism, affordable housing, social movements, and globalized political economy permeate the places of the metropolitan environment, creating push-pull dynamics affecting all levels of urban living. Cities don’t look the same after reading The New Urban Sociology.
--Eugene Halton, Professor of Sociology, University of Notre Dame
Packed with critical insights on diverse urban issues, The New Urban Sociology offers a strong, refreshing alternative to the traditional urban-suburban approach of most urban textbooks. The authors effectively present a multi-dimensional, global take on the socio-spatial processes that drive the urban political economy. A must-read for scholars and students of urbanization.
