Brief description: Cristina Moretti teaches in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University.
Review Quotes:
"This unique book should prove interesting and useful to researchers interested in public space, urban issues (particularly in Europe), neoliberalism and de-/post-industrialization, and transnational migration. Given its readability, it could also prove a useful teaching resource for classes studying any of these topics, as well as courses on visual anthropology, urban anthropology, or the anthropology of Europe. From a methodological standpoint, in her introduction Moretti tells us that one of her aims is 'to propose strategies for research in large, complex cities.'"
