Varieties of Urban Experience The American City And the Practice of Culture

Cities play an important role in contemporary American culture as sites of commerce, trade, entertainment, and the arts. We can learn a lot about what Americans believe and how they act upon those beliefs by looking at the ways our cultural dramas are continually played out on the city's stage. Without relying on one theoretical, disciplinary, or ideological framework, the essays in this volume decipher some of these experiences and offer fresh analytical insights.Borer, Michael Ian is the author of 'Varieties of Urban Experience The American City And the Practice of Culture', published 2006 under ISBN 9780761833864 and ISBN 0761833862.
