By examining the \u003cem\u003eemotional\u003c\/em\u003e experience of England's heavily politicised and racialised inner cities, it shows how feelings and other affective states underpinned everyday lives during a period marked by repressive policing, racialised exclusions, disproportionate psychiatric detention, welfare state retrenchment, and urban 'regeneration.' It also reveals the centrality of emotion to moments of large-scale urban rupture, including the New Cross Massacre in 1981, the uprisings of the 1980s, and the fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on oral testimonies and a range of archives, \u003cem\u003eInner City\u003c\/em\u003e asks how this affective terrain honed modes of endurance, survival, and resistance in impoverished city space. Through centring the affective entanglements of violence and vulnerability, the book looks specifically at how a range of projects and practices of resistance in the inner city were constituted by strategies, spaces, and enactments of \u003cem\u003ecare\u003c\/em\u003e. When institutional violence was a relentlessly pervasive framework through which life was lived and felt, it considers what it meant for racialised individuals and groups to have provided and received care, protection, and safety in response. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn so doing, the book offers timely and important insights into the historical dramas that played out in England's inner cities, particularly relating to race and resistance, in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Romyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019791084X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197910849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Michael Romyn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49084218474751,"sku":"9780197910849","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inner-city-michael-romyn-9780197910849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
