Trade Review
“Grounded in a close and critical reading of a number of works of public art and monuments in contemporary Berlin, The City as Subject draws on a sophisticated array of scholarship rooted in critical urban studies and the history of memory, providing something of a blueprint for activist artists and citizens in other places.” * Joe Perry, Associate Professor of History, Georgia State University, USA *
