"From Urban Village to East Village: The Battle for New
York's Lower East Side works towards bridging this troubling
gap in the literature by examining stuggles over urban space on
Manhattan's Lower East Side. The result of a collaborative research
project directed by Janet Abu-Lughod, the volume situates recent
and highly publicized conflicts over housing and public space on
the Lower East Side within an interdisciplinary analysis of the
neighborhood's changing relationship to the city's political
economy... The volume's refreshingly political analysis of contests
over urban space, too complex to treat fully here, underscores both
the rewards of collaborative research and the importance of
grounding our analyses of urban restructuring in particular palces
in the multiple arenas of political practice where space is
invested with cultural meaning and economic value."
