This book provides answers to two fundamental and interrelated questions about the modern city. First, what are the processes underlying the past and present growth of ‘post-industrial’ metropolitan complexes and the economically advanced city-systems to which they belong? Second, what are the implications of on-going growth for efforts to reduce interregional inequalities of employment opportunity? The first section of the book introduces the basic concepts such as the properties of systems of cities. It then provides an analysis of their growth in... Originally published in 1977.

Lost Words and Lost Worlds: Modernity and the Language of Everyday Life in Late Nineteenth-Century Stockholm
ISBN: 9780521022255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this original study of the transformation of late nineteenth-century Stockholm into a flourishing industrial capital, Allan Pred reconstructs the development of Stockholm's local economy, civil society and built environment through an interpretation of lost elements of language, of forgotten fragments of daily discourse, of lost words and meanings that belonged to members of the working and periodically employed classes. Pred demonstrates how the emergence of industrial capitalism in Stockholm and the onslaught of modernization were not simply imposed upon the local arena; instead they...

This book is intended to acquaint American historians, anthropologists, and sociologists with a discourse that questions the prioritizing of the temporal over the spatial—the historical over the geographical.

Recognising European Modernities: A Montage of the Present
ISBN: 9780415121361 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For over a century, Europe has been characterized by a plurality of capitalist modernities. At any moment, each country possesses its own distinctly modern qualities which are partly shaped through interrelationships with other countries. Each European commodity society has experienced successive, but different overlapping, periods of industrial modernity (large scale factories and urban growth), high modernity (social modernization promoted by social engineering) and hypermodernity (the acceleration of modernity, yielding new circumstances and sensibilities). Interrogating contemporary,...

Reworking Modernity: Capitalisms and Symbolic Discontent
ISBN: 9780813518329 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Using both grand conceptualizations and grounded case studies, Allan Pred and Michael Watts look at how people cope with and give meaning to capitalism and modernity in different times and places. As capital accumulation has grown and taken new forms, it has affected technology and labor relations which in turn have affected people's daily lives. These changes have not always been either welcome or easy. Pred and Watts focus on the symbolic discontent and cultural confrontations that accompany capitalism. They depict people struggling over the meaning of change in their lives and over new...

Past Is Not Dead: Facts, Fictions, and Enduring Racial Stereotypes
ISBN: 9780816644063 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During a 1985 visit to Sweden's National Portrait Gallery, Pred (geography, U. of California, Berkeley) was first struck by a painting of a young male. Called Badin, he was an Afro-Caribbean slave given to the Swedish royal court, whose portrait was created in 1775 by a royal court artist. Through the example of Badin, Pred explores past and presen

Past Is Not Dead : Facts, Fictions, and Enduring Racial Stereotypes
ISBN: 9780816644056 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Through one figure--Badin, eighteenth-century Afro-Caribbean slave given to the Swedish royal court--Allan Pred shows how stereotypes endure through the repeated confusion of facts and fiction, providing a highly original perspective on the perpetuation of racializing stereotypes in the West. In the first of two interlocking montages inspired by Walter Benjamin, the book focuses on Badin, who died in Stockholm in 1822, and representations of his life that appeared from the 1840s through the 1990s. In the second montage, Pred brings the late nineteenth century and the present into play,...
