Overview
For courses in Urban Sociology, Urban Culture, or Urban Anthropology. This innovative text examines the various theoretical perspectives and paradigms of urban and cultural analysis. The book examines urban sociology from the growth of ancient cities to modern times by using culture as its recurring theme. It also explores the city's impact on how we make and consume all types of culture: art, music, literature, architecture, film, etc., illustrating not only the effect the urban environment has on the production of culture, but, at times, how culture has influenced the city.
