Beskrivning

News, Neoliberalism, and Miami’s Fragmented Urban Space examines cultural and social forces responsible for inequalities that have emerged in the rampant development of Miami as a “world city.” This book argues that neoliberal movements rely on the power of journalistic discourses to authorize and legitimize harmful social acts such as gentrification. Moses Shumow and Robert E. Gutsche Jr. provide original analyses of intersections among memory, race, capitalism, and journalistic power, particularly at a time of immense political and environmental change. The authors examine changes in neighborhoods and in public-private developments that are bound to widen an already-great divide between classes and races in South Florida.

The authors show the value of applying a critical lens to extract and examine the fragmented meanings of Miami. They reveal how power structures, ideologies and media narratives influence and perpetuate inequalities; how city grid lines serve as symbolic dividers that also permeate into digital spaces. The book reveals the advancement of a neo-liberal agenda that —at first glance— may appear as 'natural' as the limestone bedrock upon which the region sits.
