Table of ContentsReviewsUsing the case of publicly subsidized housing and its residents in Chicago, Catherine Fennell brilliantly traces the architectures of public housing decay and the so-called solutions to them as affective possibilities. Political debates over how to house the urban poor unfold as gripping ethnographic realities here, urging us to think through the materiality of sympathy. Vincanne Adams, University of California, San Francisco This book is a must-read for those concerned with public housing and its aftermath. The author has captured stories rarely heard anywhere else. --Planning Magazine An excellent, timely, and nuance ethnography that moves beyond the more familiar analysis of postwelfare urban inequalities. It is a valuable addition to the literature about urban poverty, urban planning, and the politics of race and class in the contemporary United States. --American Anthropologist Fennell's great achievement rests on her ability to capture those critiques of the new housing not as a nostalgia for the old--that kind of thing is the preserve of the social scientists and the museum-advocates in her narrative--but rather as a negotiation of the difference between sympathetic attachments and abstract, sentimentalized obligations to anonymous others. --Somatosphere This book is a must-read for those concerned with public housing and its aftermath.
