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
