Drawing on action research and counter-cartography, A People's Atlas of Detroit aims to both chart and help build movements for social justice in the city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA People's Atlas of Detroit is a remarkable achievement. Not only is Detroit one of the most important cities to understand, but this book includes a multiplicity of forms of knowledge, which, when woven together, tell a powerful story. A People's Atlas of Detroit offers a new model and standard for critical urban geography. This book not only works to understand the many ways Detroit has come to help establish the urban fabric of the United States, but does so through a deeply embodied and popular mode of analysis that feels generative well beyond the specifics of the city itself. Detroit organizing has always been among the smartest, sharpest, and innovative work throughout people's history. This is a project that provides more evidence of this fact-a thoughtful, important resource developed by the people in the very best tradition of community-led and -centered research and analysis. A People's Atlas of Detroit proves once again that if we seek to understand a place, we must break with the extractive practice of traditional 'research' and listen to the people who make it what it is.","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038452285783,"sku":"9780814342978","price":29.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780814342978.jpg?v=1750940349","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-peoples-atlas-of-detroit-great-lakes-books-series-9780814342978","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
