Review
"An impressive comparative study."--Urban Affairs Review
"A major theoretical contribution. The concept of arenas will reshape how we think about city politics. Definitely a path breaker."--Clarence Stone, author of Regime Politics: Governing Atlanta, 1946-1988
"Most snapshots of urban politics are taken from the 50th floor of a downtown skyscraper. Ferman views urban politics from the streets of the city's neighborhoods. The result is a vivid picture that opens up possibilities for the revival of progressive urban policy and the flowering of democratic civic action."--Todd Swanstrom, author of The Crisis of Growth Politics: Cleveland, Kucinich and the Challenge of Urban Populism
"Provocative, lively, and engaging. Ferman begins to fill in the skeletal structure and anatomy missing from many accounts of urban political life."--Richard DeLeon, author of Left Coast City: Progressive Politics in San Francisco, 1975-1991
"This fascinating study offers a powerful challenge to regime theory and its paradigm of urban policymaking."--Ester R. Fuchs, author of Mayors and Money: Fiscal Policy in New York and Chicago
"Insightful, clearly written, and theoretically astute. A major step forward in our understanding of neighborhood organizations and urban regimes."--Robert A. Beauregard, author of Voices of Decline: The Post-War Fate of U.S. Cities
"Ferman puts her case studies in a theoretical framework that moves beyond most current conceptions. One of the most valuable things I have read on the subject."--Pierre Clavel, author of The Progressive City: Planning and Participation, 1969-1984
