After the Cosmopolitan?
The majority of the world’s population now lives in cities. The social, cultural and
economic problems and opportunities that are generated by this extraordinary
concentration of people have become symbolic of the contemporary human
condition. This burgeoning of city life has in particular led to progressively greater
concentrations of demographic groups from increasingly diverse backgrounds and
resulted in new forms of cultural conflict and cultural dialogue.
In
After the Cosmopolitan?
Michael Keith argues that both racial divisions and
intercultural dialogue can only be understood in the context of the urbanism
through which they are realised. The author addresses debates in cultural theory
and urban studies about the growth of cultural industries and the marketing of
cities, the debates around social exclusion and violence, the big debate in the States
around the nature of the ghetto, the cross disciplinary conceptualisation of cultural
hybridity and the politics of third way social policy. Through this Keith considers
the ways in which race is played out in the streets of some of the world’s most
eminent cities and argues that neither the utopian naiveté of some invocations of
cosmopolitan democracy nor the pessimism of multicultural hell can adequately
make sense of the changing nature of contemporary metropolitan life.
This authoritative book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, post-
graduates and researchers across the disciplines of anthropology, architecture,
cultural studies, geography, politics, social policy and sociology.
