Transnational Urbanism is a profound work of theoretical
synthesis by internationally renowned urban theorist Michael Peter
Smith. Moving deftly across disciplines and discursive terrains,
Smith forges original and stimulating connections between urban
studies and the emerging field of transnational studies. With
original and extraordinary insight, he addresses the central
question of how and why immigrants, refugees, political activists,
and institutions locate and maintain social relations in light of
transnational urbanism.
- Brings a concrete, historically informed discussion of
globalization and transnationalism applied to urban studies.
- Offers a blueprint for reconstructing urban theory itself
.
- Forges stimulating connections between the field of urban studies and the emerging field of transnational studies .
