Summary: How did American cities change throughout the 20th and early 21st century? This timely publication integrates research from American Literary and Cultural Studies, Urban Studies and History. The essays range from negotiations of the »ethnic city« in US literature and media, to studies of recent urban phenomena and their representations: gentrification, re-appropriation and conversion of urban spaces in the USA. These interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives on American cities provide unique points of access for studying the complex narratives of urban transformation.PPN: PPN: 860395715Package identifier: Produktsigel: EBA-BACKALL | EBA-CL-SN | EBA-EBACKALL | EBA-EBKALL | EBA-ECL-SN | EBA-EEBKALL | EBA-ESSHALL | EBA-PPALL | EBA-SSHALL | EBA-STMALL | GBV-23-DGG-HSU | GBV-deGruyter-alles | ZDB-23-DGG | ZDB-23-DSW | ZDB-23-TGP | ZDB-23-TGP | ZDB-23-17 | ZDB-23-TGP
