How can contemporary theories of difference enhance our
understanding of traditional urban studies concerns such as
housing, labor markets, and structures of state entitlement? What
are the connections between urban space and identity politics? This
provocative text provides fresh perspectives on the fragmented city
within a cultural political economy framework. Contributors explore
the role of race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality,
able-bodiedness, and other axes of difference in the geography of
postmodern cities. Using a range of cutting-edge theoretical and
methodological approaches, the book probes the relationship of the
broader realities of urban life--economic polarization,
gentrification, and the proliferation of sites of consumption to
the everyday life and political power of different communities.
