Space, Urban Politics, and Everyday Life

Zusatztext

This Book develops a novel and innovative methodological framework for operationalising Henri Lefebvres work for empirical research on the U.S. city. Building on ethnographic research on Chicagos South Side, Tilman Schwarze explores the current situation of urbanisation and urban life in the U.S. city through a critical reading and application of Lefebvres writings on space, everyday life, the urban, the state, and difference. Focusing on territorial stigmatisation, public housing transformation, and urban redevelopment, this book makes an important contribution to critical urban scholarship, foregrounding the relevance and applicability of Henri Lefebvres work for geographical and sociological research on urban politics and everyday life.
