xii, 337 p. ill. ; 25 cm. "This book will change the way we understand cities. It provides readers with not only an introduction to cities and urbanism in the postmodern world but also overturns many common assumptions about urban structure. Dear's analysis combines concepts of postmodernism, space and the urban to trace the genesis of a postmodern urban condition. He provides an understanding of the intellectual, moral, and political consequences of postmodernism and an evaluation of the role of space, and place in contemporary social theory and philosophy." -- Contents -- List of Figures vi -- List of Tables viii -- Preface ix -- Acknowledgments x -- Introduction 1 -- 1 Taking Los Angeles Seriously 10 -- 2 Mapping the Postmodern 25 -- 3 Postmodern Bloodlines : From Lefebvre to Jameson 47 -- 4 The Premature Demise of Postmodern Urbanism 70 -- 5 Reading the Modern City : A Colonial History of Los Angeles 1781 – 1991 91 -- 6 Deconstructing Urban Planning 117 -- 7 Postmodern Urbanism 140 -- 8 A Tale of Two Cities 1 .
