This book offers an inside view of Manchester, England
demonstrating the complexity of urban dynamics from a range of
ethnographic vantage points, including the city's football clubs,
the airport, housing estates, the Gay Village and the city's annual
civic parade. These perspectives help trace the multiple dynamics
of a vibrant and rapidly changing post-industrial city, showing how
people's decisions and actions co-produce the city and give it
shape. Using the metaphor of the kaleidoscope, with each turn of
the wheel, another aspect of the city is materialised. In doing so,
the contributors complicate the dominant narrative of Manchester's
renaissance as driven by the city administration's entrepreneurial
ethos. By taking up civic space and resources with council-led
cultural representations focused largely on generating financial
income for the city, three decades of command-and-control politics
has inhibited grassroots and spontaneous forms of emergent publics.
