Omschrijving
Examines the role of stigma and history in three very different cities: Birmingham, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Stigma Cites shows how cultural and political trends influenced perceptions of disrepute in these cities, and how, in turn, their status as sites of vice and violence influenced development decisions.
Stigma Cities sets an example for other scholars' efforts to work effectively with popular-culture sources that help us to understand how images of cities are shaped, contested, manipulated, and changed.""
