But French-American journalist Cole Stangler, celebrated for his reporting on Paris and French politics, argues that the beating heart of the City of Light lies elsewhere--in its striving, working-class districts whose residents are being priced out of their hometown today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eParis Is Not Dead\u003c\/em\u003e explores the past, present, and future of the City of Light through the lens of class conflict, highlighting the outsized role of immigrants in shaping the city's progressive, cosmopolitan, and open-minded character--at a time when politics nationwide can feel like they're shifting in the opposite direction. This is the Paris many tourists too often miss: immigrant-heavy districts such as the 18th arrondissement, where crowded street markets still define everyday life. Stangler brings this view of the city to life, combining gripping, street-level reportage, stories of today's working-class Parisians, recent history, and a sweeping analysis of the larger forces shaping the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Lucy Sante and Mike Davis, \u003cem\u003eParis Is Not Dead\u003c\/em\u003e offers a bottom-up portrait of one of the world's most vital urban centers--and a call to action to Francophiles and all who care about the future of cities everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cole Stangler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620977826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620977828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/10\/2023","brand":"Cole Stangler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130381398271,"sku":"9781620977828","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed3f6fce-c68a-40e2-b1a0-3079742af5b7.jpg?v=1687469062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paris-is-not-dead-cole-stangler-9781620977828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
