The park was the result of a hard-fought, decadelong protest movement in a low-income Maghrebi and African immigrant district starved for infrastructure, but the Mayor's vision of urban sustainability was met with jeers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing extensively from immersive, firsthand ethnographic research with northeast Paris residents, as well as an analysis of green architecture and urban design, Andrew Newman argues that environmental politics must be separated from the construct of urban sustainability, which has been appropriated by forces of redevelopment and gentrification in Paris and beyond. France's turbulent political environment also provides Newman with powerful new insights into the ways in which multiethnic coalitions can emerge⎯even amid overt racism and Islamophobia⎯in the struggle for more just cities and more inclusive societies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tale of multidimensional political efforts, \u003ci\u003eLandscape of Discontent\u003c\/i\u003e cuts through the rhetoric of green cities to reveal the promise that environmentalism holds for urban communities anywhere. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816689636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816689637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.89h x 4.65w x 0.68d","brand":"Andrew Newman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086951395583,"sku":"9780816689637","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_217562c9-9ed9-460d-b6fa-375d2485fa64.jpg?v=1769097439","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscape-of-discontent-andrew-newman-9780816689637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
