Urban Politics: A Reader examines the evolving structure of
political power in American cities. It reveals how changes in
society relate to the global and national economy, immigration and
internal migration, racial and ethnic transition, and how
technological advances affect city politics. The text illuminates
the paradox that while we are living in an era of increasing
globalization, politics at the local level is more important than
ever. The collection of classic and contemporary readings by
respected scholars, as well as politicians, journalists, and
activists, enables readers to hear multiple voices explain how and
why city politics works while assuring a thorough encounter with
the rich variety of racial, ethnic, cultural, economic, and
ideological perspectives that constitute the urban mosaic. Editor
Stephen J. McGovern integrates material not commonly found in urban
politics texts while considering a wide array of large and small
cities throughout the United States. The reader includes an
introductory essay at the beginning of each chapter that provides
historical and conceptual context and a section following each
chapter that invites students to reflect on how urban politics
affects pressing policy issues facing city residents today. Taken
together, Urban Politics: A Reader deepens our understanding of how
cities are governed, nurtures thoughtful discussion and debate, and
cultivates a concern for the vitality and well-being of urban
places.
