Cities and Citizenship

Thanks to Romola Sanyal and Renu Desai, organizers of the Cities and Citizenship symposium at UC-Berkeley, I spent Valentine’s Day in sun-drenched California. My keynote talk was titled “Dispatches from Dark Places,” a report on impoverished towns and also conditions in a prison-state, but, as far as I was concerned, key notes were struck earlier in the day by Jim Holston, author of Insurgent Citizenship, and Paola Bacchetta, well-known for her work on right-wing women. Very good to see again Scott Saul, Gautam Premnath, and the very excellent Rich Mordenti Simpson.
