Rotenberg,
Robert and Gary McDonogh, eds. 1993. The Cultural Meaning of Urban
Space. Westport, CT: Bergin and Garvey.
This volume is a collection of twelve articles that begin with the intersection
of historical discourse and social organization but then move beyond to
more complex, nuanced analyses drawing upon interdisciplinary models.
In particular, the volume seeks to understand urban space as places made
meaningful by urbanites living in them through creation of metropolitan
knowledge.
The articles, although mostly concentrated on capitalist cities, are cross-cultural
in scope and innovative in approach. The book is divided into three sections:
1. The Language of Place, 2. Place in the City, and 3. Planning and Response.
This volume reviews a selection of 34 films successfully used in teaching urban anthropology.
Glasser, Irene and Lawrence B. Breitborde, eds. 1996. Urban Anthropology in the 1990s: A Collection of Syllabi and an Extensive Bibliography. Washington, DC: SUNTA, 3rd edition, revised.
This highly successful, idea-filled volume now in its third, revised edition highlights 49 course syllabi used by teachers of urban anthropology. It also contains an extensive Urban Bibliography of relevance to anthropologists.
The syllabi include both graduate and undergraduate courses and use innovative, historical, film-based, classroom-based and field-based approaches. Some emphasize Western, others on non-Western, cities.
The volume has three sections: 1. General Urban Anthropology Courses, 2. Geographically-Focused Courses, and 3. Topically-Focused Courses.
