Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"[T]he remarkably successful The New Chicago [is] not just an anthology, but an intensely collaborative volume--with six editors--that both continues the grand tradition of Chicago sociology and breaks new ground.... The volume deftly connects the rise of a 'new Chicago'...to major themes of contemporary urban studies.... Overall, The New Chicago has much to say to scholars and students across a range of disciplinary interests and offers a potent rebuke to those theoretical imperialists of the Los Angeles school, demonstrating conclusively that Chicago is alive and as relevant as ever in the postindustrial present." --The American Journal of Sociology, May 2009
"The editors firmly believe that Chicago, its postindustrial formation, and the struggles that have characterized its recent history must be placed in a global context... [A]nyone who wants to know what is happening in Chicago today does well to take a close look at this volume." --Journal of Regional Science
