Reinventing Detroit ― The Politics of Possibility

Editors Smith and Kirkpatrick bring together expert contributions from a wide variety of disciplines to examine possible interventions to move the city of Detroit forward from its current state of fiscal, political, and socioeconomic crisis. Individual contributions are grouped into four parts devoted to the theoretical and epistemological frameworks; the cities, states, and markets involved; the fiscal crisis, local democracy, and neoliberal austerity; and possible pitfalls and ways toward a brighter future. Michael Peter Smith is a faculty member of the University of California, Davis. L. Owen Kirkpatrick is a faculty member of Southern Methodist University, Texas.
