    Gottdiener Gottdiener “The best urban sociology textbook available! This updated version of Gottdiener Hutchison and Hutchison’s respected text stands out for its critical sociospatial approach accenting key development actors, attention to urban theming and semiotics, savvy discussions of racial/gender issues, and studied attention to global contexts of U.S. and overseas urban development.” —JOE FEAGIN, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY “The New Urban Sociology blends theory and examples to give readers an accessible and engaging work suitable for undergraduates, urban scholars, and general readers. Gottdiener and Hutchison provide an innovative and brilliantly structured text to shed fresh light on the dominant trends and global processes shaping cities and urban life.” —KEVIN FOX GOTHAM, TULANE UNIVERSITY “Bringing our understanding of global urban trends and recent urban policies bang up to date, The New Urban Sociology embraces a wide range of social, cultural, economic and political themes and issues.
