The Urban Politics Reader draws together classic and contemporary
writings that best illuminate the basic questions of urban politics
- how interests contend for power over the distribution of
resources and why some win while others lose. Contributions from
Martin Shefter, Clarence Stone, Rufus P. Browning and Saskia Sassen
are included among the thirty-two generous selections. The Reader
juxtaposes the main theoretical approaches to urban power with
vivid accounts of actual political experiences on such key themes
as the urban crisis, the politics of race, ethnicity and gender,
national urban policy, suburbanization and globalization. Strom and
Mollenkopf illustrate how thinking about cities is central to our
understanding of democracy and citizenship, and how although the
parties to urban politics may change over time, the struggle of new
groups to gain access and representation is a constant theme. The
Editors' introductions suggest topics and questions for class
discussion, demonstrate the significance of urban politics, and
suggest directions for further reading and thinking, while the
associated bibliography enables deeper investigations. By drawing
together important but widely dispersed writings, The Urban
Politics Reader provides an essential resource for students of
urban politics. The volume will also have widespread appeal for
students of urban sociology, urban affairs, urban planning and
public policy.
