"Urbanity is our certain and fixed future. How human beings live together--or fail to live together--compacted into great cities where a world's races, religions and ancestries share ever-tighter quarters--this is the fundamental question for the new century. With Instant City, Steve Inskeep tells the story of a single violent and volatile day in the teeming streets of Karachi, Pakistan. In doing so, he reveals what is now at stake not just for Pakistan, or Asia, but for the human species. This is thoughtful, important work."
-- David Simon, creator of HBO's "The Wire;" author of HOMICIDE"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
