New book reviews on Urban Studies Blog

The Making of the Banlieue book cover

Book review: The Making of the Banlieue: An Ethnography of Space, Identity and Violence

reviewed by Simone van de Wetering

“This is a must-read for anyone interested in the question of urban inequality in France, violence in the banlieues and more generally the complex relationship between ‘the state’ and its citizens.”

Reconstructing Public Housing book cover

Book review: Reconstructing Public Housing: Liverpool’s Hidden History of Collective Alternatives

reviewed by Mara Ferreri

“Any book title about the ‘hidden history’ of a city promises to reveal unknown dimensions of the non-linear lives of urban phenomena. Matthew Thompson’s Reconstructing Public Housing: Liverpool’s Hidden History of Collective Alternatives both fulfils and exceeds this promise.”
