This popular text has been thoroughly updated and revised to sharpen the focus on its "bias and change" theme while bringing the text into the 21st, post-September 11th world.
Political Change in the Metropolis, Seventh Edition, continues to focus on the political changes that have taken place in American cities and the reactions of urban scholars to them. In addition to offering scholarly perspectives, the text offers students a theoretical framework for interpreting these changing events for themselves. This framework analyzes the patterns of bias inherent in the organization and operation of urban politics, giving students an in-depth look at the fascinating and constantly changing face of urban politics.
