Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of current and future urban issues on a global and local scale. Premised on an 'engaged' approach to urban anthropology, the volume adopts a thematic approach that covers a wide range of modern urban issues, including security, displacement, social justice, privatisation, sustainability, and preservation. Offering insight into how anthropologists investigate, make sense of, and address various urban issues, chapters cover key theoretical and methodological concerns alongside rich ethnographic case studies. Essential reference for students and researchers in urban anthropology, useful too for those in related disciplines such as urban studies, sociology and geography.
