The Routledge History Handbook of Gender and the Urban Experience (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Simonton, Deborah

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging current perspectives of urbanisation, this volume discusses gender in an urban context in European, North American and colonial towns from the 14th to the 20th century. Organised into six parts covering economy, space, civic identity, material culture, emotions and the colonial world, it explores topics ranging from women and citizenship in medieval York to gender and tradition in 19th- and 20th-century South African cities, reframing our understanding of the role of gender in constructing the spaces that form our urban environment. It is a valuable resource for all researchers and students interested in gender, urban history and their intersection throughout the past five centuries.

Rezensionen

'In a rich super-collection of 36 essays plus introductions, this Routledge History Handbook offers exciting fare for readers of diverse geographical and temporal interests. Sweeping across Europe, including several of its less familiar northern domains, and reaching out to some of its distant colonies, the anthology spans six centuries. Fruitful coherence and lots of striking fresh insights emerge from the sustained focus on a novel intersection of two themes: gender, both as ideas and in persons, and urban experiences and spaces.'
