Examining the way people imagine and interact in their cities,
this book explores the post-cosmopolitan city. The contributors
consider the effects of migration, national, and religious revivals
(with their new aesthetic sensibilities), the dispositions of
marginalized economic actors, and globalized tourism on urban
sociality. The case studies here share the situation of having been
incorporated in previous political regimes (imperial, colonial,
socialist) that one way or another created their own kind of
cosmopolitanism, and now these cities are experiencing the
aftermath of these regimes while being exposed to new national
politics and migratory flows of people.
