Thoughtfully organized and transdisciplinary in its scope, this terrific volume is essential reading for students, teachers, and anyone interested in learning more about metropolitan America." -- Margaret O'Mara, Assistant Professor, Department of History, University of Washington "The American Urban Reader will certainly be timely in the era of Barack Obama. The urban vote was decisive in his amazing election." -- Ronald Takaki, author of A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America "The editors have done a terrific job of collecting seminal primary, secondary, and theoretical essays on the history, the social life, and the form of the city from the colonial period to the postmodern metropolis. The reader will be useful for students of planning, urban studies, and history--indeed for any student interested in understanding the evolution of the metropolitan landscape."  -- Eric Schneider, Urban Studies and History, University of Pennsylvania, 'The volume serves as a very valuable introduction to the history of scholarship and research related to urban life in the US.

Synopsis
The American Urban Reader brings together the most exciting work on the evolution of the American city, from colonial settlement and western expansion to post-industrial cities and the growth of the suburbs. Each of the chronologically and thematically organized chapters includes thoughtfully selected scholarly essays from historians, social scientists and journalists, which are supplemented by relevant primary documents that offer more nuanced perspectives and convey the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of the study of the urban condition. A comprehensive companion website offers valuable further reading, compelling supplementary links, slideshows of additional images, and a dialogue opening blog written by one of the authors. Lisa Krissoff Boehm and Steven H. Corey together bring thirty-five years of classroom experience in urban studies and history, and have selected a range of work that is dynamically written and carefully edited to be accessible to students and appropriate for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how American cities have developed. For additional information and classroom resources please visit The American Urban Reader companion website at www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415803984.
