Atay and Brower's Communication, Culture, and Making Meaning in the City is a one-of-a-kind treat for readers who desire conscientious inquiry on complicated yet vital cultural issues on the city. Situated as a reflexive examination of the quotidian particularities of city spaces and life, this accessible book invites readers to encounter city experiences likely new to us. Yet the book also works in ways that prompt readers to reflect on our own interactions in/with city spaces, digging deeply--perhaps for the very first time--into what they have meant, or could come to mean, to us and others., Atay and Brower have brought together compelling ethnographic accounts from a variety of fascinating cities. The communicative dimensions of urban spaces are revealed through the interpretation and critique of human existence where planning and order meet improvisation and fluidity., "Atay and Brower have brought together compelling ethnographic accounts from a variety of fascinating cities.

Synopsis
As communicative, cultural, and political spaces, cities present a vast array of racial, ethnic, national, sexual, and socioeconomic experiences around which human communities take shape. This shaping forms a germinal point of mass cultural life. City planners decide where buildings and neighborhoods are developed, which ultimately affects who residents interact with, how they get there, and why they choose city life. From these experiences, boundaries and possibilities arise that define cultures of "the city." In Communication, Culture, and Making Meaning in the City: Ethnographic Engagements in Urban Environments, contributors focus on theorizing the notion of "the city" as a communicatively constituted cultural space, drawing on situated, reflexive ethnographic examinations of "the city" to show the complex and varied ways in which cities produce social meaning., This book addresses contemporary urban life through ethnographic examinations of mundane experience. International in scope, authors explore the city as image, movement, history, and relationship.
