Description
Summary:Brenda Parker’s book Masculinities and Markets centers this conversation. From discussing how Milwaukee stands out as an American case study of raced, gendered, neoliberal urban politics to a transatlantic reading of the neoliberal city, this author interview explores the paradoxes and entanglements of masculinities and power with urban governance. Parker extends her reflection of these tensions as she brings her work into dialogue with the interviewer George Katito’s recent work on how global political economic forces impinge upon how masculinities simultaneously collide with and shape process of urban governance.
