The ideology of green comes out of its black box, exposed to insightful and historically aware analysis. --Harvey Molotch, New York University Written with verve and meticulous attention to historical detail, How Green Became Good illuminates the hows and whys of the contemporary phenomenon of 'urbanized nature.' Angelo convincingly moves from micro-level investigations of moral judgments and responses surrounding pet rabbits to macro-level examinations of top-down globalized urban greening projects. A tour de force, this book will prompt a rethinking of the green-as-good reflex. --Robin Wagner-Pacifici, The New School for Social Research How Green Became Good takes the conventional western urban imagination out of Chicago's Loop and past Los Angeles's Sixty-Mile-Circle to the expanse of the Ruhr and rewrites urban theory from there. This brilliant book on more than a century of urbanized nature in Germany's former industrial heartland will forever change our views of the industrial city as preceding the green city. If you are looking for a concept of the urban beyond the Zwischenstadt, you will find it in Angelo's magisterial contribution. --Roger Keil, York University Angelo risks sacrilege; she takes on nature as a mundane tool of politics, entertainment, and real estate.
