Conclusion: Toward a Pedagogy of Place for Black Urban Struggle Bibliography Author Index Subject IndexReviews"""This is the first time any writer has combined the discussion of the formation of culture and consciousness in the Black community with an analysis of urban restructuring. This book makes an important contribution to the growing body of literature in cultural studies and demonstrates the usefulness of integrating the work of geographers, planners, and sociologists who focus on spatial issues. This interdisciplinary approach provides a new foundation for the discussion of social movements. ""Nowhere in the literature on Black social movements is there a recognition of the dialectical interplay of space/place and consciousness. This book breaks new ground and elevates the discussion of the Black urban experience to new intellectual heights. It offers an alternative perspective on race relations in the United States and, most important, it provides a critique of the culture of poverty analysis of the Black urban experience and thereby debunks notions of a self generating underclass."" - Cynthia Hamilton, University of Rhode Island" This is the first time any writer has combined the discussion of the formation of culture and consciousness in the Black community with an analysis of urban restructuring.
