Theorizing the City

Abstract

■ The city as a site of everyday practice provides valuable insights into the linkages of the global capitalist economy with the texture and fabric of human experience. My comments focus on cities as centers of abuse, violence and enslavement as documented in the papers of Ida Susser and Peter Kwong. I place each author's critique within this urban order by using the images of the 'ethnic city', 'gendered city', and 'global city'. By focusing on spatial images of cities, I redirect our attention to the sites of social problems produced by expan sion of global capitalism, and to the location of possible resistance.
