Last up, Patrick D. Nugent's "The Greenlining of Staten Island: Environmental Preservation and Racial Segregation, 1945–1995"
Alright, I've got two more for now. Here's Christian Sowa's "The Camp, Housing, and the City: Berlin's Migrant Camp Accommodation after the 'Long Summer of Migration'"
This one is described as "a detailed foray into the material and spatial realities of cloud computing" — and we must have it! It's Ali Fard's "Grounding the Cloud: Urbanism in the Shadow of Data."
James Michael Buckley's "City of Wood: San Francisco and the Architecture of the Redwood Lumber Industry" (please, please, please someone write about this one)
Chris Moffat's "Lahore After Modernism: Architecture and Its Histories in Pakistan"
Miloš Jovanović's "Cities of Dust and Mud: Urbanism and Bourgeois Fantasy in the Balkans, 1820-1920"
Surely I must know someone who will want to tackle this one: Timothy Mitchell's "The Alibi of Capital: How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow"
Dafeng Xu's "Chinatown: San Francisco's 1906 Earthquake and the Paradox of American Immigration Policy"
Yun Liu's "Blue Skies over Wuhan: The Evolution of Environmental Protection Policy in Hubei, 1970s–80s"
Next up, we've got Peter Simons's "Global Heartland: Cultivating the American Century on the Midwestern Farm"
Franziska Reiffen's "The Social Life of the Mall: Working and Dwelling in Urban Argentina" (good news, the thread seems to be intact)
Mary Anne Hunting and Kevin D. Murphy's "Women Architects at Work: Making American Modernism" (here's hoping I didn't break the thread there; I might've broken the thread)
Tom Fucoloro's "Biking Uphill in the Rain: The Story of Seattle from behind the Handlebars" (I know there are bicycle lovers among my followers; are there any bicycle loving urban historians?!)
Lars Marcus's "Measures and Meanings of Spatial Capital: Contributions to a Theory of Land"
"Solidarity Cities: Confronting Racial Capitalism, Mapping Transformation" by Maliha Safri, Marianna Pavlovskaya, Stephen Healy, and Craig Borowiak.
Kenny Cupers's "The Earth That Modernism Built: Empire and the Rise of Planetary Design." You can't tell me you don't want this bold pink tome on your shelf.
Christopher Cowell's "Form Follows Fever: Malaria and the Construction of Hong Kong, 1841–1849" (there is a mosquito sneaking around my office as I type this, and I swear, it's making me itch)
Meredith McKittrick's "Green Lands for White Men: Desert Dystopias and the Environmental Origins of Apartheid" on how environmental engineering gave rise to South Africa's Apartheid state. This one's tempting!
Here's Paul Dobraszczyk's "Botanical Architecture: Plants, Buildings, and Us" (alright, you're catching on to my bias for urban x environmental histories now, I guess)
Next up is Mary P. Ryan's "Taking the Land to Make the City A Bicoastal History of North America."
Continuing our amphibious theme, here's André Tavares's "Architecture Follows Fish: An Amphibious History of the North Atlantic."
Here's one for my fellow environmental x urban history lovers: K. Maria D. Lane's "Fluid Geographies: Water, Science, and Settler Colonialism in New Mexico."
Tara Dudley's "Building Antebellum New Orleans: Free People of Color and Their Influence."
Next up, William Nichols's "The Paradox of Paradise Creative Destruction and the Rise of Urban Coastal Tourism in Contemporary Spanish Culture." I'm told this one includes "striking images of coastal Spain in the throes of its own coming of age" — not to be missed!
First up, Damon Scott's "The City Aroused: Queer Places and Urban Redevelopment in Postwar San Francisco"
a friend who only tuned in for the finale sharing in our now month-long consternation 🤗
Dr. Asfia Qaadir tells listeners that hospitals have a dark past — silencing employees who speak out against human rights abuses is just the latest chapter. For more on how health care workers have come under attack in the United States, check out my reporting.
"Follow the money" is always good advice when reporting. Last year, I interviewed healthcare workers about retaliation and censorship of Palestine speech. I wanted to know who was behind the attacks. I found war profiteers on the boards of hospitals and universities. For more, check out my reporting
Funny. It's correct on ICE's online detention centers list (although I had to double check because I suspect my brain would just "fix" this error while reading, and I wouldn't necessarily register it)
