The Emancipatory City? is a wonderful addition to a growing literature on the public culture of the city... The book broadens our gaze and deepens our understanding of how cities enable people to express themselves and be free. // Robert A Beauregard, New School University, New York // ¦ What are cities for? // ¦ What kinds of societies might they most democratically embody? // ¦ How can cities be emancipatory spaces? // These critical questions inform the discussion in this volume. // Much of the literature on the city has focused on the city as a possible utopia. However, as this work demonstrates, cities are ambiguous sites of expression, emancipation, democracy, justice, and citizenship. The Emancipatory City? interrogates ideas from the writings of Marx, Simmel, Benjamin, Foucault, Lefebvre and de Certeau through an audit of the modern to the postmodern city as a space of flows, networks and intricacies. // With contributions from key theorists and reflections from David Harvey, Ash Amin and Nigel Thrift, this book offers a critical examination of the city that integrates theory with illustrative, empirical examples. It will be a key resource for students and researchers in Urban Studies and Urban Geography. // Loretta Lees is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at King’s College, London. // Cover photograph Bearing their crosses in Bangor’by Kevin Bennett (photographer) © 1998 Bangor Daily News, Maine, USA, used with permission. // Cover design by Design Deluxe // ISBN
