Description: You are considering a hardcover book, with no DJ: NEWS, NEOLIBERALISM, AND MIAMI'S FRAGMENTED URBAN SPACE by Moses Shumow and Robert E. Gutsche Jr.; PUBLISHER: Lexington Books, Lanham; 2017 copyright; 193 pages. The authors show the value of applying a critical lens to extract and examine the fragmented meanings of Miami. They reveal how power structures, ideologies and media narratives influence and perpetuate inequalities; how city grid lines serve as symbolic dividers that also permeate into digital spaces. The book reveals the advancement of a neo-liberal agenda that -at first glance- may appear as 'natural' as the limestone bedrock upon which the region sits. (Kristy Hess, Deakin University) This is a rare book that does justice to this citys contradictions. As they consider Miamis boom and bust real estate cycles; its immigrant enclaves; and its precarious position on the eroding coastline, Shumow and Gutsche Jr. suggest that this crazy uncle of American urbanism can also be understood as an exemplary case of urban neoliberalization. (Elizabeth Strom, University of South Florida) Shumow and Gutsche Jr. take their readers through the streets of Miami as informed, critical, but also inquisitive flaneurs. . . . A fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in politics of space, at the juncture of media and the city. (Myria Georgiou, London School of Economics and Political Science) This is a richly researched book that offers an original perspective on the relationship between the news media and the inequalities that set apart contemporary cities. . . . Through their provocative and accessible writing on pervasive market-based rhetorics of place, Shumow and Gutsche Jr. make an important contribution to urban communication scholarship.
