  • the nature of the ghetto

  • the politics of third-way social coverage.

In contemplating the ways that race is performed out within the world's most outstanding towns, Michael Keith shows that neither the utopian naiveté of a few invocations of cosmopolitan democracy, nor the pessimism of multicultural hell can safely make feel of the altering nature of latest metropolitan life.
