Urban Renewal and Resistance: Race, Space, and the City in the Late
Twentieth to Early Twenty-First Century examines how urban spaces
are rhetorically constructed through discourses that variously
justify or resist processes of urban growth and renewal. This book
combines insights from critical geography, urban studies, and
communication to explore how urban spaces, like Detroit and Harlem,
are rhetorically structured through neoliberal discourses that mask
the racialized nature of housing and health in American cities. The
analysis focuses on city planning documents, web sites, media
accounts, and draws on insights from personal interviews in order
to pull together a story of city growth and its consequences, while
keeping an eye on the ways city residents continue to confront and
resist control over their communities through counter-narratives
that challenge geographies of injustice. Recommended for scholars
of communication studies, journalism, sociology, geography, and
political science.
