In Street Archives and City Life Emily Callaci maps a new terrain of political and cultural production in mid-to-late twentieth-century Tanzanian urban landscapes.

These urban intellectuals neither supported nor contested the ruling party's anti-city philosophy; rather, they navigated the...

Matthew Vitz outlines the environmental history and politics of Mexico City as it transformed its original forested, water-rich environment into a smog-infested megacity, showing how the scientific and political disputes over water policy, housing, forestry, and sanitary engineering led to the city's unequal urbanization and environmental decline.
