Brooklyn Fictions The Contemporary Urban Community in a Global Age【電子書籍】[ Dr James Peacock ]

＜p＞Vast and diverse, Brooklyn is often portrayed in literature as a place of traditional community values and face-to-face relations, distinct from anonymous, capital-driven Manhattan. ＜em＞Brooklyn Fictions＜/em＞ discovers what such representations of the New York borough can teach us about diversity and the individual, the local and the global.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Combining analysis of popular texts such as Sister Souljah's ＜em＞The Coldest Winter Ever＜/em＞ with more canonical novels such as Jonathan Lethem's ＜em＞The Fortress of Solitude＜/em＞, this study draws on the work of a variety of theorists on community and globalization and uses Brooklyn as a case study for an exploration of the complex relationship between romantic ideals of community and global economic forces.
