Brooklyn has all the features of a "global borough": It is a base
of immigrant labor and ethnically diverse communities, of social
and cultural capital, of global transportation, cultural
production, and policy innovation. At once a model of sustainable
urbanization and overdevelopment, the question is now: What will
become of Global Brooklyn? Tracing the emergence of Brooklyn from
village outpost to global borough, Brooklyn Tides investigates the
nature and consequences of global forces that have crossed the East
River and identifies alternative models for urban development in
global capitalism. Benjamin Shepard and Mark Noonan provide a
unique ethnographic reading of the literature, social activism, and
changing tides impacting this ever-transforming space. Cover and
interior images of a rapidly transforming global borough by
photographer Caroline Shepard.
